From the meeting
At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the Select Board approved a revised budget for the $1 million Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Action Grant for a regional energy resilience project proposed by NextGen. The budget was reduced from the original $5 million request and split into phases, including a $130,000 legal and procurement review by KP Law. The grant was set to expire in June 2027, and the board also agreed to include up to six towns in the study.
Decision state: revised grant budget approved, with legal and procurement review still ahead.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
