Belgrade -
Belgrade town officials have agreed to pay $3,500 to a man who owns the rights to the Internet domain name belgrademaine.com.
Town Manager Gregory Gill said the town last week signed an agreement with Matthew Hunt, owner of A2Z Computing Services Co. in Oakland, to buy the domain name rather than take the case to court.
Gill tells the Kennebec Journal that is unclear who owned the name, and it was cheaper just to come to an agreement than to fight the matter in court.
Gill says the select board wanted the town to own belgrademaine.com so staff and department heads could place information on the site without going through Hunt.
He says selectmen also wanted to rid the site of advertising.
