This bill authorizes the town of Westford to release certain agricultural preservation restrictions on land owned by Westford Gateway, LLC, which is necessary for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's rehabilitation of Boston Road. The specific agricultural preservation restrictions to be released are detailed in various recorded documents and plans, and the affected parcels are identified on a preliminary right-of-way plan. The bill mandates that all construction-related parcels must be restored to their original condition to protect the surrounding conservation values.

In exchange for the release of these restrictions, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation is required to provide funding to Westford, amounting to at least 110% of the fair market value of the impacted lands, as determined by an independent appraisal. This funding must be deposited into Westford's Community Preservation Fund and used within three years to acquire replacement land that is comparable in location, natural resource value, acreage, and monetary value. The bill also stipulates that the Department of Transportation will cover all associated costs for the release process, while the remaining agricultural preservation restrictions will continue to be enforced.
