Bill filed to add Avon to Brockton Economic Target Area
Summary
A bill filed Jan. 14, 2025, would make the town of Avon a member of the Brockton Economic Target Area; the filing lists Representatives William C. Galvin and Sen. Michael D. Brady as petitioners and gives no further procedural details.
A bill that would make the town of Avon a member of the Brockton Economic Target Area was filed with the Massachusetts House on Jan. 14, 2025, by Representative William C. Galvin and Sen. Michael D. Brady.
The filing, docketed as House Docket No. 1105 and submitted as House Bill No. 484, says simply that, “Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the Town of Avon shall be a member of the Brockton Economic Target Area.” The document does not specify committee referral, legislative sponsors beyond the petitioners, or a timeline for further action.
Representative William C. Galvin (6th Norfolk) and Sen. Michael D. Brady (Second Plymouth and Norfolk) are listed as the petitioners on the cover page. The filing appears in the record for the One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth General Court (2025–2026) and notes similar matter was filed in the prior session as House No. 409 (2023–2024).
The text included with the filing contains only the membership provision; it does not attach implementing language, funding provisions, or amendments. The filing therefore communicates the sponsors’ intent to change the statutory membership of the Brockton Economic Target Area to include Avon, but it does not record any formal debate, vote, or committee action.
No additional procedural steps, committee assignments or scheduled hearings are specified in the filing document.
