The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved a Neighborhood Assistance Act application for Friends of Holcomb Farm to install a four-ton heat pump and related electrical equipment at 87 Simsbury Road.

The board also heard plans for a utility-scale solar project covering about 400 acres and serving roughly 14,000 homes, but took no approval action on the project.
