Tewksbury's Select Board and Board of Health experienced tensions during a joint meeting over East Point Energy's proposed battery storage project on Hillman Street, which aims to store 125 megawatts of energy. Residents have voiced opposition due to safety and property value concerns, while the town seeks to negotiate a host community agreement for $40 million over 20 years. The Select Board is expected to vote on the agreement soon, with public comments due by February 6 to the Energy Facilities Siting Board, which has final approval authority.
