Boxborough Sustainability Committee approved a $280,000 Green Communities package for Town Hall heat pumps, Police weatherization, and Blanchard School LED lighting and education programs, estimated at $230,000 after utility rebates, voting 5-0. The Committee unanimously approved circulation of a draft Climate Action Plan to Town boards for feedback before Select Board consideration. Context Architecture presented preliminary fire station designs incorporating heat pumps, rooftop solar, and native plantings, with detailed costs expected by fall.
The Committee deferred Specialized Stretch Code consideration to May 2027 Annual Town Meeting, citing insufficient time for technical work and stakeholder coordination with Littleton Electric Light & Water Department before the September warrant deadline.
