Biomass boiler coming to a school near you??

If you watch the gansett news or D. Brooks face book page, you will see reference to some news from the superintendent of schools and reference to the wood chip boiler which apparently will be ready and running in February. What I do not see is any mention of any contract for the purchase of wood chips. A signed contract with a hard price per ton for the wood chips would go a long way in letting people know how much the district (taxpayers) will pay for chips. Hopefully it will be the $28.00 per ton that was advertised at the beginning of this project. With a signed contract, the district could make the presentation of the cost of the chips and a better estimation of the cost to heat the school using chips.
