Dear Town Manger Valente:
I am pleased to inform you that the Green Communities Division has approved the Town of
Lexington's Green Communities grant request of $158,083 to fund the buy-down of a solar PV
project for multiple municipal buildings.
The Division reviewed the Town of Lexington's grant application and has determined that the
proposed activity/activities meet the eligibility requirements of the Green Communities Act and
are viable, well-developed projects. Over the next several weeks, your Green Communities
Regional Coordinator Joanne Bissetta will be in contact with the designated representative listed
on your grant application form to discuss next steps, including coordination of the grant contract
process (execution of a grant agreement and developing a project schedule/plan). I have
enclosed a list of the grant documents that are required to be completed by the Town of
Lexington and the Green Communities Division.
The Green Communities Division looks forward to working with the Town of Lexington on your
grant project(s). We congratulate you on your designation as a Green Community and applaud
you for your efforts to create a greener energy future for the Town of Lexington and for the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Please do not hesitate to contact Joanne Bissetta at (978) 694-3315 or by email at
joanne.bissetta@state.ma.us with any questions you may have regarding your grant award.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Sylvia
Director
