An Act Concerning The Exchange Of Parcels Of Land Between The City Of New Britain And The Department Of Transportation.

Impact

If enacted, SB00730 is expected to enhance local development by providing New Britain with additional land that can be utilized for economic initiatives. Moreover, the bill includes a provision requiring the city to permanently protect and preserve an additional 45 acres of land, highlighting a commitment to environmental stewardship while pursuing development. This could potentially balance the need for economic growth with the necessity of preserving natural resources in the area.

Summary

SB00730 proposes an exchange of land between the City of New Britain and the Department of Transportation. Specifically, the bill facilitates the conveyance of 15.5 acres of land located in Newington to the City of New Britain. In return, the city will convey 68 acres of land to the Department of Transportation. This transaction is part of a broader strategy aimed at promoting economic development and job creation within New Britain.
