Longer-form draft.
Attention Andover residents: Changes are coming to how the town handles Land Use Fees. During the Select Board meeting on April 2, 2026, the Board discussed reviewing and updating land use fees to bring them in line with surrounding towns. While 'alignment' may sound administrative, for residents, property owners, and developers, this move typically results in increased costs for engaging in land use and zoning activities. This is a significant decision that affects the local economy and the cost of doing business or managing property in Andover. The Board has scheduled a public hearing for April 16 to gather community input on these proposed updates. If you want to have a say in how much it costs to navigate our town's land use processes, make sure you attend the hearing on April 16. Don't wait until the fees are set to voice your concerns. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/select-board/2026-04-02/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
