CONWAY — The developers of Ridgeline Community will be seeking voter approval for a financing plan to help pay for the construction of an energy-efficient memory care facility. If voters approve, it would have implications for the entire town.
Selectmen made no decisions and must decide whether to place an article on the warrant by Feb. 10. The warrant article would ask voters to create a town-wide Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy and Resiliency district.
