In the fall of 2016, the Select Board signed a $70,500 contract with Avitar Associates to conduct the required revaluation of town property. According to the State of NH, revaluations need to occur at least every five years within a town. This was our lucky year. Click here to read on…

The salary range is $50k – $65k with a starting salary normally not to exceed $55k and based upon experience, skills, and relevant licenses and certificates.

At its meeting of August 7, the Select Board accepted the resignation of Jeff St. Jean as the town’s road agent. Mr. St. Jean has worked tirelessly for the town in his seven years of service and the Board thanks him for his reliability and doggedness in keeping our roads safe and passable with many hours spent during nights, weekends and holidays in the most disagreeable of weather conditions. We thank him and wish him well in his new endeavor.
And, now we need to find a new road agent. The Select Board has formed a Search Committee (Jodi Lavoie-Carnes, Nate Mears, Michael Lapoint, Nancy Dionne) to review applications and make a recommendation to the Board. We will soon be posting the notice seeking applicants to fill the position.

The Select Board will be working on the Welfare policy.
The Select Board has signed a contract agreement with Parker and Daughters (Pittsfield, NH) to replace the culverts on Willey St and Pine St and to repair the drain pipe at the lower mill.
Construction is scheduled to start on Willey St on Wednesday, August 1 and then proceed to the lower mill about two weeks later; Pine St will be the third and last construction site with no current estimated start date. The relevant sections of Willey and Pine Street will be closed to traffic during construction; residents will be able to access their driveways throughout.
The project is being funded by financing from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Development and by the town’s culvert reserve fund.
Paving will start late next week on Silver Street from Route 4 (via Short Street) to the intersection of Rollins Road. Somersworth Road will also be paved next week. The approximate dates are Wednesday, July 26th – Friday, July 28th. Expect delays in those areas and seek an alternate route during that time.
Rollins Road will be paved as well but not until late August. More specific dates are not yet available.
Continental Paving is contracted to do this work on behalf of the State of New Hampshire because these are State roads.
