Explanation 
The bill modifies a conveyance from SA 01-6 section 23 from the 
Department of Transportation to the town of Fairfield and specifies 
that the town must use, lease, or sell said parcels for economic 
development purposes within five years of the conveyance. If sold, 
proceeds from the sale are required to be deposited in the Special 
Transportation Fund. 
To the extent the parcel is sold, there would be a revenue gain to the 
Special Transportation Fund equal to the fair market value selling 
price of the parcel within the next five years (the asset was most 
recently valued at $846,700) and a loss of asset to the town of Fairfield. 
If not sold, the town could retain the asset through allowable use or  2021SB-01111-R01-FN.DOCX 	Page 2 of 2 
 
 
gain potential revenue from allowable lease of the land. If not sold, 
used, or leased appropriately within five years, the state would regain 
use of the asset and the town would lose use of an asset. 
Senate "B" expands allowable town use of the land and results in the 
fiscal impact described above.
