Selectmen authorize town manager to sign lease with Kearsarge Energy for landfill and gravel-pit solar project
Summary
The selectmen authorized Town Manager David Stack to sign a lease with Kearsarge Energy for a solar project sited on the town landfill and the Allen Road gravel pit, after board review of the negotiated lease.
Selectmen said they have completed lease negotiations with Kearsarge Energy for a solar array on otherwise unusable town land — the municipal landfill and the Allen Road gravel pit — and authorized Town Manager David Stack to sign the finalized lease when it is ready.
The board member presenting the item said negotiators and the town attorney reviewed terms and that the lease reflects the project voters previously supported. A motion to authorize the manager to sign the agreement carried unanimously.
Selectmen did not provide detailed lease terms at the meeting; they said the lease draft is being finalized and that the manager will sign when the final document arrives. The board described the site as “unusable land” at the landfill and the Allen Road gravel pit, and said this authorization follows prior town votes supporting the project.
