Municipalities Effect FY 27 $ FY 28 $ Rocky Hill Savings See Below See Below Rocky Hill Loss of Potential Potential Asset Explanation The bill modifies a conveyance approved in special act 22-16 by removing the requirement that the town of Rocky Hill pay the fair market value of the asset, which precludes a revenue gain to Special Transportation Fund and reduces the cost to the town of Rocky Hill in the amount of the fair market value of the property (most recently valued at approximately $668,800).

Additionally, the bill adds a requirement that the asset would revert to state control if the recipient does not use the land for specified purposes, which results in a potential loss of asset to the town of Rocky Hill and potential gain of asset for the state.
