Board to seek solar proposals for Town Hall; heat-pump option deemed costly
Summary
Town officials will issue an RFP for solar proposals to use a $15,000 NYSERDA grant; officials noted heat-pump installation for the Town Hall would cost about $75,000, making solar more feasible to gain points for future grants.
Councilwoman Nancy Martin-Mathewson reported on discussions with MVEDD about using the town's $15,000 NYSERDA grant for energy upgrades at Town Hall. The board decided it would be recommended to the Facilities Committee to issue an RFP for solar proposals for the Town Hall to evaluate potential projects and costs.
Board members noted that installing heat pumps at the Town Hall would cost about $75,000, an amount that exceeds available grant funds; Martin-Mathewson said pursuing a solar project could yield points toward the next level of grant awards. The recommendation is to issue an RFP and review proposals before committing funding.
