CONWAY — Five options for financing a proposed $6.7 million North Conway fire station were laid out at a Feb. 19 budget hearing held by the North Conway Water Precinct Feb. 19 — and two of them include expanding the existing solar field at the wastewater treatment plant as a way to reduce energy costs and apply the savings toward the fire station project.

In a presentation to commissioners and about 20 citizens, Superintendent Jason Gagnon showed how a full build-out of the treatment plant’s solar field would help save electrical costs for the facility over 40 years and that those savings could be used to offset some costs of building a new fire station.
