The bill, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5573, proposes the conveyance of a 0.22-acre parcel of state land located at 174 North Elm Street in Torrington to the city of Torrington. The conveyance will occur at a cost equal to the administrative expenses associated with the transfer and is subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board. The parcel is identified as Lot 020 in Block 004 on the city’s Tax Assessor's Map and is subject to an easement for slope reserved in favor of the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation.
The city of Torrington is required to use the land for relocating a trail; if it fails to do so, does not retain ownership, or leases any part of the parcel, the land will revert back to the state. The State Properties Review Board must complete its review of the conveyance within thirty days of receiving a proposed agreement from the Department of Transportation. The bill also stipulates that the State Treasurer will execute any necessary deeds or instruments for the conveyance, which will include provisions to ensure the land is used as intended.
