An Act relative to Gardner Heritage State Park.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide forthwith for the exchange of certain parcels of land between the commonwealth and the city of Gardner, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1.  Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the city of Gardner may convey to the division of capital asset management and maintenance the parcel of land known as Stump pond which is identified on the city of Gardner’s assessors’ maps as parcel W27-11-2.  The parcel shall be placed under the care, custody and control of the department of conservation and recreation.

SECTION 2.  As consideration for the conveyance authorized in section 1, the division of capital asset management and maintenance, in consultation with the department of conservation and recreation, shall convey to the city of Gardner the parcel of land known as the Gardner Heritage State Park which is identified on the city of Gardner’s assessors’ maps as parcel M27-25-10.  The city of Gardner may convey or otherwise transfer that parcel to the Montachusett Veterans Outreach Center, Inc.
