What it means
This bill lets the Wareham Board of Selectmen sign a 99-year lease with the Buzzards Bay Coalition, Inc., a nonprofit, for the Onset Bathhouse and its grounds on Onset Avenue. The stated purpose is to create the Onset Bay Discovery Center in a restored bathhouse for education, recreation and environmental use of Buzzards Bay. The Coalition would restore, build, run and maintain the site under terms the selectmen approve, and the work would not be subject to chapter 149 of the General Laws. It takes effect when passed.
