The Walpole Select Board voted 5-0 at its May 11 meeting to enter into an agreement to share an energy manager with the towns of Norwood and Sharon, combining their resources to create a full-time position to find more ways to use renewable energy.
Walpole Town Administrator Jim Johnson explained at the Select Board meeting that a $40,000 request was placed at Town Meeting to share an energy manager with the towns of Norwood and Sharon.
A position for a part-time energy manager was created in 2019, when Norwood was designated as a Green Community. Sharon had received its designation two years prior. The full-time position would go into effect on July 1.

WALPOLE, N.H. â About four dozen Walpole residents turned out for Town Meeting Saturday afternoon, approving the $4.8 million town budget, spending for a new truck and police cruiser, and designating the historic Old Drewsville Road as a âscenic way.â
Peggy Pschirrer, chairwoman of the Walpole Select Board, said Monday that voters also approved a plan to use a portion of the town surplus to paint the town hall and make some overdue repairs, at a cost of about $150,000.
The town hall is 102 years old, she said, and replaced a building which burned. A close inspection revealed mold and cracked paint that needs attention, particularly on one side. The roof is also getting some attention, she said.
