LG Energy Solution infrastructure funding
The Town spent about $51 million on roads and utilities around the LG Energy Solution plant, mostly reimbursed by State Title 42 construction sales tax dollars. This item would shift funding sources and pay off the interim loan — general tax dollars were meant to be protected.
