Select Board will be obtaining a new valuation of the dam in the coming months and deciding which path to take next

LITTLETON — With the town’s 5-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement on the Moore hydroelectric station and dam expiring in 2024, the Select Board will be obtaining a new valuation of the dam in the coming months and deciding which path to take next. While the agreement expires in April, the board has until the end of the year to make the ultimate decision and put something in place — another PILOT or a reversion to utility property taxation — before the December tax bill is issued. Several months ago, Hydro-Quebec, the new owner that bought the property from Great River Hydro LLC in October 2022, contacted the town about the process, Littleton Town Manager Jim Gleason said on Monday. He said that the formal process is expected to begin after the 2024 budgeting, deliberative session, and March town meeting have concluded.
