Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill would authorize the Baxter State Park Authority (BSPA) to sell the State's interest in a 228-acre parcel in the Town of Harpswell to a buyer who meets certain deed restrictions.  The property was acquired by the former Maine Forest Authority and, as a result of reorganizations, transferred to the control of the BSPA.  The bill provides that any proceeds from the sale must be deposited into the Public Reserved Lands Acquisition Fund within the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. 
Any additional costs to the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry or to the Baxter State Park Authority from the provisions of this bill are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
