Committee Approves $35,684 In Project Invoices

Other Committee · Meeting of August 31, 2026

Madison's Neck River School building committee approved $35,684.54 in closeout invoices and confirmed the town has collected a $2,176,101.21 Inflation Reduction Act tax credit tied to the project. Project team representative Adam called the credit "a resounding success all around" but declined to call the project "under budget," saying instead "the project spent less than the authorized grant amount from the state." A pending Eversource rebate, estimated just under $100,000, remains delayed over an electrical meter calibration dispute. Members said several hundred thousand dollars in subcontractor retention remain unpaid, including amounts held from the mechanical trade.

In remarks, member Graham and a school operations representative identified as Pete discussed ongoing parent complaints over pickup and drop-off congestion, with enrollment "just shy of 700," about 40 students over capacity.
