The Merrimack Town Council meeting on April 10, 2025, highlighted several community-focused initiatives and important announcements that aim to engage residents and enhance local services.

One of the key events discussed was the 33rd Annual Easter Egg Hunt, organized by the Parks and Recreation Department, scheduled for Saturday, April 12, at Wossman Park. Despite the forecast of rain, the event promises to be a fun-filled morning from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, featuring thousands of colorful eggs and activities provided by local businesses. Residents are encouraged to participate and create lasting memories with their families.

In addition to the Easter festivities, the council reminded residents that dog licensing is currently underway, with a deadline of April 30, 2025, to avoid penalties. Notices were mailed out on March 31, urging pet owners to ensure their dogs are licensed.

The meeting also announced the first hazardous waste collection of the year, set for April 19 from 8 AM to 12 PM at 25 Crown Street in Nashua. For a fee of $20 per vehicle, Merrimack residents can dispose of up to 10 gallons or 20 pounds of hazardous waste, promoting safe disposal practices within the community.

Another significant update was the commencement of the annual town-wide street sweeping, starting on April 14. Residents are asked to keep roads clear of obstructions during this time to facilitate the cleaning process.

In a moment of pride for the community, Parks and Recreation Director Mac Asparius received the prestigious Wink Tapler Professional Award at the Parks and Recreation Association Summer Camp Summit and Awards Ceremony in Concord. This award is a testament to Asparius's dedication and hard work, and the council expressed their congratulations for this well-deserved recognition.

Lastly, the council noted that an agenda item regarding the Nutmeg Lane Drainage and Road Construction would be tabled for a future meeting, as one member was unable to attend.

As the council continues to address community needs and celebrate local achievements, residents are encouraged to stay informed and participate in upcoming events and initiatives.
