Granby board unanimously backs Neighborhood Assistance Act application to fund Holcomb Farm HVAC upgrades
Summary
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved a Neighborhood Assistance Act application from Friends of Holcomb Farm to install a four-ton heat pump and associated electrical work at the former First United Methodist Church in West Granby and directed staff to complete the state application before July 1.
The Town of Granby Board of Selectmen voted unanimously (4-0-0) to approve a Neighborhood Assistance Act application from Friends of Holcomb Farm to fund heating and cooling efficiency upgrades at the former First United Methodist Church at 87 Simsbury Road in West Granby.
Cat Kadrle, executive director of Friends of Holcomb Farm, summarized the proposal, which requests funding to install a four-ton heat pump and related electrical components to replace the building’s existing electric baseboard system. Kadrle told the Board that the project would qualify participating businesses for a 100% state tax credit and noted that prior NAA funding had already covered heating work for the farm store.
Board members moved and seconded the motion to approve the application and directed town staff to complete the NAA endorsement before the state’s July 1 deadline; the motion (made by Frederick Moffa and seconded by Margaret Chapple) passed unanimously, 4-0-0.
The Board’s endorsement sends the town’s approval to the state-run NAA program, which staff said does not directly cost local taxpayers because it allows qualifying organizations to redirect certain state income tax obligations toward approved community projects.
