Nelson Select Board moves to pursue Eversource battery-backup grant for town resiliency buildings
Summary
The Select Board voted Oct. 16 to seek an Eversource Battery Backup Grant through CENH that would cover 50% of the cost of battery backups for the Town Hall, Library, Town Office and Safety Building; the minutes note a possible 30% tax credit but do not list total project cost or application details.
The Nelson Select Board decided at its Oct. 16 meeting to pursue an Eversource Battery Backup Grant through an award given to CENH that would provide 50% of the cost of battery backups for town resiliency buildings. The minutes list the Town Hall, Library, Town Office and Safety Building as intended recipients and state the award would also provide an additional 30% tax credit to the town if the grant is made.
The minutes do not provide the project’s total estimated cost, a vendor, or an application timeline. The board described this as a funding opportunity to increase resiliency for essential municipal facilities; no formal appropriation or match beyond the stated grant share is recorded in the minutes. The minutes identify “CENH” by acronym only and do not expand the organization’s name or provide an application status. The board’s action at the meeting was to seek the grant; an award had not been reported in the minutes.
