Residents press selectmen for updates on solar projects and Bulldog Meeting House
Summary
Public-comment speakers asked for updates on a landfill solar consultation and raised concerns about possible warrant language or sale/repair of the historic Bulldog (Bobo) Meeting House; selectmen said no formal warrant recommendation or sale decision had been made.
During public comment the board received multiple requests for project updates. Harry Judd asked about solar projects previously discussed; staff reported Kearsarge will bring a conceptual consultation to the planning board about a solar facility sited on the landfill near the high school and that planning staff and counsel are resolving contract issues.
Residents also asked about the Bulldog (Bobo) Meeting House: Mike Wheeler and others asked whether a warrant article to fund painting or repairs would be drafted. Selectmen and counsel said there has been no board decision about selling or repairing the building and noted that a preservation easement may constrain future work. The board explained petition and municipal warrant deadlines differ and that 25 registered voter signatures are required for a citizen petition warrant article.
