Candia selectmen authorize Brian Brock to send letter seeking federal help for new police facility

The Candia Board of Selectmen voted Aug. 4 to authorize Selectman Brian Brock to sign a letter dated Aug. 1 and send it to Representative Pappas requesting assistance in securing federal funding for a new Candia police facility. The motion was seconded and carried with the members present voting in favor.

The meeting transcript records the authorization motion and a brief remark that the issue is "dying fast," indicating urgency, but contains no details about a target funding amount, grant program, or project timetable. The letter’s text and any attachments were not read aloud during the meeting; selectmen said staff prepared the document for review.

Selectmen did not take further formal action at the meeting on next steps or on specific federal programs to pursue. Board members asked that the authorized signature be applied so staff could transmit the request to Representative Pappas’ office.
