Select Board Meeting Notes

This is from last night's meeting--informal notes by Dorothy Heinrichs. Feel free to comment.  When the official minutes are approved, we'll post them as always. --Jay

Leslie Bradley and Charlie Sova, candidates to represent Orange in the NH legislature, came to speak and answer questions. Dorothy wanted to know why, when the student debt of NH students is the highest in the nation, they thought slashing support for the university system was good for the long term economic health of the state.  Betty Fulton asked for communication with the townspeople and Selectboard. 

The head of the Groton Planning Board came and spoke about the wind project giving details about the initial phases of the project through power generation - which should begin in late November. The town negotiated a 15 year deal which will provide them with almost the equivalent of the entire municipal budget annually. Watch this space for more information on the possibility of a wind farm less than a mile from the Orange border.

The board approved a three year contract with Casella for trash/recycling collection.

Remember to vote on Election Day, November 6. The polls are open from 11 am until 7pm.

Correction: the proposed new wind farm wouldn't be within Orange, but would be within a mile of our border.
