Outer Limits Brewery Receives Tax Incentive Package: Outer Limits Brewery, planned for 60 Village Green in Proctorsville, has been named one of 16 projects in Vermont to receive a tax incentive package. The Outer Limits tax credit, worth $147,325, will help bring the $1.25 million project to fruition. The owners have begun construction to open a new commercial brewery and a 106-seat pub/tasting room in a formerly empty two story building in the center of Proctorsville. According to the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Outer Limits will use the tax credits to support construction of a renovated entryway along with mandated code improvements in the historic structure.

Solar Project Underway: NextEra Energy, a commercial provider of wind, natural gas, solar and nuclear energy, is building a solar-energy site here that it expects to complete by December, after eight months of construction.

NextEra Energy said the project will generate 20 megawatts of power, providing power to 5,000 homes. The company calls the site the Coolidge Solar Project. The company claims the project will generate approximately $4 million in tax revenue to local and state governments over the life of the project, which is expected to be at least 20 years and could be as long as 40. A company press release stated that NextEra expects to make its first payment to Ludlow of about $175,000 soon. Eagle Times
