SUMMARY
This amendment replaces language in Committee Amendment “A”, which gives the right of first refusal to abutting lot owners to purchase a parcel of land in Falmouth, with language directing the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services to convene a stakeholder group in order to seek a compromise on the sale of that parcel and the possible creation of an easement or easements.
