Email this afternoon from Bill Massaro about the special legislation to purchase the former Medfield State Hospital site, which has now been reported out of the Senate Ways & Means Committee, where it had languished for the past month. It is not clear to me whether the full Senate has voted on the bill, or just the Senate Ways & Means Committee, but the Senate action appears to mirror the House action when it passed the bill, so perhaps it just needs the Governor’s signature.
Next step for the MSH purchase process will be for DCAMM to get to work on preparation of the Land Disposition Agreement between them and the town, which DCAMM had refused to prepare and negotiate until the bill was passed.
Looks like the Medfield Hospital Purchase Bill is finally moving. From the MA legislature website this afternoon::
