Some voters were curious about a $1.2 million appropriation for a sewer project on Industrial Drive. The item allows the town to borrow or transfer the funds. The project hinges on an $835,000 grant from the state, without which it won't go further. Industrial Drive property owners will pay for those betterments not covered by the grant.

Of the existing septic systems, Water and Sewer Superintendent Nick Nicholson said he didn’t want to point fingers but, “I suspect if they’re investigated as far as passing Title 5 they would have problems.”

He said owners on Industrial Drive want the sewer and that a positive vote would help make a case for approval of the grant.

Voters passed the item without further questions.

Voters also gave Selectmen and assessors the right to negotiate for payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreements with commercial solar projects. PILOT agreements allow the town to assess a project's fluctuating value as equipment and panels depreciate and are replaced.

Voters approved the negotiations. Once an agreement is reached, it will be brought before voters for approval at Annual Town Meeting.

On Monday, voters also approved appropriations for year four of the five-year road improvement plan, property tax deferrals for active National Guard service members and almost $186,000 from sewer funds to extend sewer capacity.
