WAYLAND, MA — Wayland recently received a state grant to make environmentally friendly upgrades around town — including the purchase of a hybrid electric vehicle for Wayland police. The $150,827 Green Communities grant awarded in late August is the third for Wayland this year. Apart from the police car, the grant will go toward installing LED lighting and retro-commissioning at Wayland High School — which will allow the town to fix inefficiencies at the school. According to the state Department of Energy Resources, Wayland received close to $550,000 over two grants in July for other green upgrades, which will cover upgrades at all schools, and electric vehicle charging stations. Wayland's Energy and Climate Committee helped land the grant for the town.
