The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 517 proposes the conveyance of two parcels of state land to the town of Branford. The bill stipulates that the Commissioner of Transportation will transfer these parcels at a cost equal to their fair market value, determined by the average of two independent appraisals, along with any administrative costs associated with the conveyance. The first parcel is approximately 7.2 acres, identified as Lot 1, while the second parcel is about 11.66 acres, identified as Lot 5, both detailed in a specific map related to roadway improvement and redevelopment plans in Branford.

Additionally, the bill requires that the conveyance be approved by the State Properties Review Board, which must complete its review within thirty days of receiving a proposed agreement from the Department of Transportation. Until the conveyance is finalized, the land will remain under the care and control of the Department of Transportation, with the State Treasurer responsible for executing any necessary deeds. The act is set to take effect upon passage and introduces new legal language regarding the conveyance process while deleting any previous provisions that may conflict with this new directive.
