An Act authorizing the Commonwealth to acquire certain land in the city of Marlborough.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to forthwith acquire land for the betterment of the City of Marlborough and for the health and wellbeing of its residents, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health.
 

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.  The commissioner of the division of capital asset management and maintenance shall acquire by negotiation a certain parcel of land located in the City of Marlborough for the purpose of the betterment of the City and for the health and wellbeing of its residents.  Said parcel is comprised of Map 57 Lot 286, Map 57 Lot 287, Map 57 Lot 290 and Map 57 Lot 291 of the assessors’ maps of the City of Marlborough.  Said commissioner shall offer the owners the amount determined by the values prepared by the assessors’ office for fiscal year 2013.  If said offer is not accepted within 60 days of its tender, it shall be null and void and said commissioner shall take action as provided in section 2.

SECTION 2.  The commissioner of the division of capital asset management and maintenance shall acquire by eminent domain under the provisions of chapter 79 of the General Laws the land described in section 1.

The offer of settlement under section 39 of said chapter 79 or the pro-tanto payment under section 8A of said chapter 79 shall be based on the amount sited in section 1.
