Longer-form draft.

What is the current legal relationship between the Town of Bradford and the Friends of the Bradford Community Meeting House? This was one of the key questions raised during the Affordable Tomorrow Committee meeting on May 28.

Committee members discussed the potential need for a formal ground lease or a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to clarify land and building ownership. Beyond legal clarity, there was a suggestion that a formal lease could serve as a new source of revenue for the town. This is a significant detail for residents to watch as it impacts both town assets and the local budget.

In addition to property concerns, the meeting addressed two other high-priority issues: the design of a new resident priority survey and public concerns regarding municipal accounting. While the committee is working to resolve discrepancies through a CPA, and debating the best way to survey the public, the underlying question remains: are these processes designed to truly empower residents, or simply to manage them?

We will continue to monitor these discussions to ensure the town’s financial and legal management remains transparent and accountable to the people of Bradford. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/affordable-tomorrow/2026-05-28/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
