About Vassalboro
Vassalboro is a community nestled between the banks of the Kennebec River and the West Basin of China Lake. Fertile farmland, small villages, and gentle rolling hills give our town a unique character. Settled in 1760 and incorporated in 1771,Vassalboro has developed into a community committed to quality of life, economic opportunity, and a sound education system.
Our town has frontage on a major river (the Kennebec) and on four lakes and ponds and, as such, has outstanding recreational opportunities. It is also home to Duratherm Window Corporation, Natanis Golf Course (36 holes), and has some of the larger dairy farms in the Central Maine area.

NOTICE OF TAX SALE
The Board of Selectmen of the Town of Vassalboro, Maine is accepting bids for the purchase of the municipality’s interest in one tax-acquired property.

The minimum bid price has been set by the Board of Selectmen at $10,000.00. Each bid must also include the bidder’s name, mailing address and phone number and must be accompanied by a deposit in the form of a certified check or money order, in an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the bid price. The successful bidder’s deposit will be credited to the total purchase price for the property. Deposits will be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. Any bid which does not contain the proper deposit will be rejected. Bidders must also enclose a signed copy of the Notice Concerning Purchase of Tax Acquired Property with their bid and deposit.

PACE Energy Loan
NEW LOAN PROGRAM OFFERS SMART WAY TO FINANCE HOME ENERGY
IMPROVEMENTS
(HALLOWELL, ME) -- Thanks to a collaborative effort with numerous Maine municipalities, Efficiency Maine is launching a program for Maine homeowners that will offer a new way to finance energy efficiency upgrades to their homes.
The program, called Maine PACE Loans, was officially launched Monday, April 4. These loans provide a way for homeowners to borrow funds at a competitive interest rate to make energy improvements, such
as installing a new energy-efficient heating system, weatherizing a home with insulation and air sealing, and replacing inefficient appliances and lighting.
Nearly 60 Maine municipalities statewide are making this new financing tool available, and more municipalities are joining every month. When combined with Efficiency Maine’s Home Energy Savings Program rebates, PACE Loans can deliver meaningful energy savings for Maine residents looking to make their homes more comfortable while reducing their energy bills month after month.
“Many homeowners statewide – particularly those on modest or fixed incomes -- have had a challenging winter dealing with high heating oil prices and severe weather,” said Ed Barrett, Lewiston City Manager.
“Efficiency Maine’s Maine PACE Loan program is a convenient and attractive way for homeowners to finance energy upgrades for their homes.”
“Maine has a large stock of old and often energy-inefficient housing,” said Westbrook Mayor Colleen Hilton. “The Maine PACE Loan program is another resource to enable and encourage people to weatherize their homes and make them more energy efficient, which helps them reduce their energy bills – and may even make their homes more attractive to a future buyer.”
To get a PACE loan, a customer’s property must be located in a municipality that has adopted a PACE ordinance (see below for a complete list of participating municipalities). Any municipality may join the program. A property owner must meet other conditions, including being current on property tax and sewer payments. The amount of the PACE loan cannot exceed the property owner’s equity in the home.
With a fixed interest rate of 4.99 percent, loans can have up to a 15-year repayment period, and are transferable upon the sale of the property. Loans can range anywhere from $6,500 to $15,000.
Qualifying homeowners start by hiring a Participating Energy Advisor listed on Efficiency Maine’s website (www.efficiencymaine.com), then initiating the loan process. They can then select from a list of
registered vendors to complete their energy upgrades, submit a loan application and Rebate Reservation Form, and once approved, applicants will receive 30 percent of the amount of the project to use as a down payment. The remaining funds will be released after the completed work has been verified by the Energy Advisor.
Projects estimated to save 25 percent or more on heating costs will also qualify for up to $1,500 in rebates from Efficiency Maine’s Home Energy Savings Program while funds last. Additional incentives for
heating systems and solar equipment may also be available.
The Maine PACE Loans program was seeded by an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. Efficiency Maine won the competitive grant to capitalize,
administer and market the loans in a 2009 proposal. However, state law requires that all towns pass an ordinance enabling PACE before local homeowners become eligible for the loans. For more information
