Perhaps taking a cue from the Amagansett Fire Department, the village of North Haven has been looking into installing solar panels on the village hall's roof. Unfortunately, the decision to do so came a little late. At a recent board meeting, clerk Georgia Welch informed that group that the chance to receive grant money for the project "has been closed for quite a while." Regardless of whether or not it goes solar, the village hall is getting a new roof?the cost of replacement was already written into this year's budget. And while the board finalizes that project, Ms. Welch will be pursuing other options to help make the solar upgrade affordable. [Previously, Sag Harbor Express]
