Tewksbury Select Board approves Hillman Energy Center host community agreement. The board unanimously voted to authorize submission of the 37-page agreement to the state Energy Facilities Siting Board as supporting testimony, following town receipt of 37 written resident questions, all answered and posted online.

Attorney Jeffrey Bernstein warned the board that without approval and incorporation by the state Siting Board, provisions for financial and safety conditions would not be enforceable by the town.
