Community building rentals up; board eyes greater outside use
Summary
Select Board reported $2,075 in rental revenue for the community building in the first quarter versus $3,225 for all of 2025 and noted increased bookings from outside Shapleigh; members discussed outreach and programming to maximize use.
Board members said the town’s community building is seeing increased use: “To date, the 1st 0.25, we have received $2,075 in revenue from rentals,” a board member reported, contrasting that with $3,225 collected for the full year in 2025.
Members said about 17 of 30 days in April were already in use for paid rentals, board meetings, classes, and training, and noted a nonprofit is scheduled this month. The board discussed encouraging programming and community events — including a possible community day and playground rebuild — to make fuller use of the facility and generate revenue. Officials said plans to change the town fiscal year could affect accounting for rental income and recommended coordination with budget changes.
