The Town of Bedford Energy Commission agreed on a short outreach message and a multi-pronged campaign to support Article 15, the warrant article on community power, after being told Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) will delay new town launches until the second half of 2025.
The commission settled on the slogan, “Vote yes on Article 15 — lower rates, more choices,” and discussed flyers, social‑media outreach and staffed tabling at transfer station and weekend coffee hours to answer questions before the March 11 vote.
