The committee’s vote supports, but does not approve, a proposal to install solar panels at Winchester High School, McCall Middle School, Vinson-Owen Elementary School, the Department of Public Works, and the Transfer Station. The proposal depends on Town Meeting action and would use borrowing to fund the $7.943 million project. The committee also recommended using a no-interest Eversource loan to finish McCall’s LED lighting upgrade, a roughly $95,000 project expected to save about $8,300 annually after a $16,500 MassSave incentive.
