What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 2-0015241 — Pauls Plate Glass, activity and use limitation, status RAO, class B2, AUL recorded May 24, 2004 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 3 active tier-classified 21E sites and 11 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Fitchburg.
What this means
- The last sale price is 26% below the current assessment. Massachusetts assessments aim at full market value as of January 1 of the year before the fiscal year.
- An Activity and Use Limitation is a deed restriction: it limits how the land may be used (often no residential use or no digging) and passes to every buyer.
