From the meeting
On September 21, 2026 the board voted to accept $77,697 in Community Action Grant funds to install solar panels on the transfer station roof. The grant is now in place, so the project has moved from funding to implementation planning. A solar installer, electrical contractor, or roof consultant could still be relevant as the town works through the install.
