Rockingham awards gravel pit lease to Novus Solar

Don t miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.   BELLOWS FALLS — Rockingham will lease a portion of the town-owned gravel pit in Bartonsville to a Montpelier solar developer for the next 20 years. The unanimous decision last week by the Rockingham Select Board came after months of discussion. The town had been approached by a handful of solar companies, eager to take advantage of the reclaimed gravel pit, which would yield any developer a high electric rate, according to state policy, which favors solar development on brownfield sites and gravel pits. The board granted the 20-year contract to Novus Energy Development LLC, whose motto is “Energy with a bright future.”

Rockingham town tax down, school tax up

Don t miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.   BELLOWS FALLS — The Rockingham Select Board approved a town tax rate that includes a tax decrease needed to support town services in the coming year. However, the decrease — just about two cents — will likely be offset by an eight-cent increase in the school tax rate, according to Town Manager Scott Pickup. Pickup told the board Wednesday night that the state Agency of Education had finally released individual towns’ school tax rates, and Rockingham’s was up 8.4 cents. Christopher Pratt, superintendent of the Windham Northeast Supervisory Union, said Friday that the 8.4 cent increase actually resulted in a 4.5 percent increase in Rockingham school taxes over the current tax rate, and he said much of the increase was not a result of the state’s education spending formula. Voters approved a $10.7 million school budget in March.
