The MSOC reported progress on two projects in development: the library rooftop solar installation and the Ames Field/Pond Street solar canopy.
Installation of the library rooftop photovoltaic system began on June 11, 2026. Solect’s project manager on the library job is Andrew Theocles and Library Facility Manager Randy Gagne will oversee construction. The minutes record the start date and supervisory roles but do not list a construction timeline to completion.
For the Ames Field/Pond Street canopy project, Assistant Supervisor of School Facilities Ellen Whitemore and School Department Facilities Manager Vincent Raulinaitis will work with Solect on construction. The committee noted construction of the Ames Field canopy will temporarily reduce approximately 60 parking spaces; the minutes list roughly 30 alternate parking spots available at the Town beach boat ramp. Construction on the Ames Field canopy is expected to begin around Labor Day, 2026.
The minutes do not record specific funding sources for the projects or a detailed construction schedule beyond the start estimates. MSOC will continue to monitor construction impacts and parking accommodations as the projects proceed.
