Initial projections warrant further review and consideration of the proposal <br /> which would gain revenue for the Town and offset electrical costs associated to the Quashnet School. <br /> This project would be contingent upon voter approval at the May 2017 Town Meeting to move forward <br /> with the Quashnet School window, door and soffit replacement project, in addition to the receipt of <br /> reimbursable funding from MSBA. <br /> Rodney C. Collins, Town Manager was directed to further consider this option and work in conjunction <br /> with the Director of Public Works and the School Department to review possible scenario's and tax <br /> credits associated to the project proposal. It was agreed that further analysis would be conducted by the <br /> energy firm. <br />
