The bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7286, authorizes the Commissioner of Transportation to convey a 9.45-acre parcel of state land known as South Greenway to the town of North Canaan. The conveyance will occur at a cost equal to the administrative expenses associated with the transfer, and the town will be responsible for any necessary survey costs. The land is intended for open space or low-impact nonmotorized public recreation, including an existing greenway trail, with a portion designated for a fire and emergency services facility managed by the North Canaan Fire Company. The conveyance is subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board and includes provisions for reversion to state control if the town fails to use the land for the specified purposes.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if the town sells or leases any part of the parcel, it must do so at fair market value, with proceeds directed to the Special Transportation Fund. The bill also includes an easement for the Housatonic Railroad Company for maintenance of a railroad spur adjacent to the parcel. The language of the bill includes new insertions regarding the purpose of the conveyance and the responsibilities of the town, while also clarifying existing legal language for accuracy.
