Committee flags Bridgewater Regional School District for decarbonization grant eligibility
Summary
The committee noted a regional-school decarbonization grant that could fund HVAC, water heating, battery storage and electrified grounds equipment; the chair said the school district is eligible and suggested outreach to district leadership to pursue a grant with a possible match requirement.
The chair described a Bridgewater Regional School District opportunity under the Green Communities program intended for regional school districts; eligible projects include space-conditioning, water heating, on-site battery storage, electrified grounds equipment and commercial kitchen upgrades. He said the district is eligible and recommended committee outreach to the superintendent and school board to explore the program; the transcript references a possible match requirement noted as "150025% match" (the meaning or formatting was not clarified in the meeting).
The committee agreed the district might realize significant revenue from a solar field or other decarbonization investments and that outreach should be part of the next steps with the town manager and district leadership.
