Westboro is the first town buying state land under a new Massachusetts state partnership plan with towns, and Medfield is to be the second.
Today it was announced that
- Westboro will pay $2.2 m. for the 95 acre former Westboro State Hospital campus,
- the state will finance the purchase over ten years, and
- Westboro will not even require an Proposition 2 1/2 override vote given those terms.
DCAMM has been telling the Town of Medfield that
- DCAMM wants the town to buy the former Medfield State Hospital site,
- DCAMM will price it to recoup someof its sunk costs at the Medfield State Hospital site it will be treasferring
- DCAMM will give the town incentive to develop the site and incentive s to do so quickly
DCAMM has put off telling the Town of Medfield just how much it will be seeking for the Medfield State Hospital site, most recently again just this week while it gets approval from higher ups.
