THE TOWN’S PLAN TO BUILD a 10 kW photovoltaic (solar 
electric) system on the roof of the Town Garage is progressing nicely, project coordinators Lloyd Crawford and Will Cosby reported at the August 8 Selectboard meeting.
FRCOG is providing the Town with procurement services, and bid invitations have gone out, with the bid opening date set for Wednesday, August 16 at 2:00 pm.
Once the vendor is selected and the expenditure is approved by the State, it should be a matter of a few months until the system is up and running, Cosby indicated, with a completion date in November or December.
This and other energy conservation projects planned by the Town are being funded via a $136,920 grant from the Massachusetts Green Communities program.
