Summary
On June 10, 2026, the Northfield Board of Assessors voted to enter executive session under M.G.L. c.30A, §21A(3) and (7) to discuss strategy concerning Bluewave Solar and matters related to real-estate and personal-property exemptions and abatements; the board voted not to return to open session.
At 1:30 p.m. on June 10, 2026, the Northfield Board of Assessors voted to enter executive session under Massachusetts General Laws c.30A, §21A(3) and §21A(7). Alice Lord moved to go into executive session, Bethany Walker seconded, and the motion passed on a roll call vote recorded in the minutes as Lord YES, Walker YES and MacEwen YES.
The minutes state the executive session was to discuss strategy with respect to collective bargaining or litigation if an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the public body’s bargaining or litigating position, specifically referencing Bluewave Solar, and to comply with or act under the authority of general or specific law or federal grant-in-aid requirements related to real-estate and personal-property exemptions and abatements. The chair declared that the board would not return to open session after the executive session.
The minutes record no further public discussion of the executive-session topics; the board later recorded a unanimous adjournment at 2:07 p.m.
