Town Looks to Save Energy

Selectmen are considering a 20-year project that would save the town more than $250,000 a year in energy costs.

Representatives from Honeywell spent months reviewing town and school buildings to determine ways to make them more energy-efficient.

Their potential energy-savings proposals include a new roof for the and a burner for the boiler and conversion to natural gas, among many other suggestions.

 The total cost of the project would be just over $7 million. The cost to taxpayers would be $216,000 a year over 20 years. This figure factors in the annual estimated savings of $256,595.

Selectmen plan to discuss the issue at a later meeting.
