Summary

The bill lets the Massachusetts Department of Transportation give 21.55 acres of vacant highway land in Fall River to the Fall River Redevelopment Authority. The authority can then develop the property for housing, retail, commercial or other economic uses without needing an urban‑renewal plan, and will cover all related costs. Compensation is set at $1 unless the state previously paid for the land, in which case future sale proceeds are split equally with the state for ten years.
