Longer-form draft.

At the April 11 Select Board meeting, several developments were discussed that will have a direct impact on Andover residents, particularly regarding property ownership and town communication.

The Planning Board is currently working on updating land use ordinances and the Master Plan. This includes a proposed new fee schedule for land use and the development of a formal building inspector and inspection system. While these updates aim to modernize town management, they will likely result in changes to the costs associated with permits and construction for residents and developers.

Beyond land use, the meeting highlighted a persistent need for better town-wide communication. Residents expressed concerns that current methods for staying informed about town business are insufficient. The Select Board acknowledged this gap and is exploring various digital and physical strategies—such as website updates and new communication tools—to improve transparency and engagement.

Additionally, the Fourth of July Committee reported that rising costs for fireworks may lead to budget constraints for the 2026 celebration, potentially resulting in a smaller event. As these decisions progress, residents should continue to monitor board meetings to ensure town priorities align with community expectations. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/select-board/2026-04-11/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
