Select Board signs letter supporting Community Resilience Partnership LED lighting project

Pownal Select Board · May 27, 2026

Summary

The board approved and signed a letter of support for a Community Resilience Partnership grant application to update LED lighting; staff noted Northstar-linked assistance to complete the grant by June 5.

The Select Board voted to sign a letter of support to the Maine Office of Community Affairs for a Community Resilience Partnership grant to update LED lighting in town facilities. Staff said the letter supports outreach and engagement components connected to energy-efficiency improvements following an earlier heat-pump project.

"So this is a letter of support for updating the LED lighting," a staff member said, adding that consultant help from Northstar and an associate will assist the town in finishing the grant application by the June 5 deadline. A board member read a paragraph from the letter outlining commitments to community engagement for energy-efficiency outreach and asked for clarification about whether the grant included direct funds for residents; staff said the program supports municipal projects and the town will provide information at an open house to guide residents to individual programs.

The board moved and seconded to sign the letter; members voted in favor and the chair asked staff to execute the signature and follow-up steps.
