What is the long-term plan for the Bradford Area Community Center (BACC)? At the 4/15 Economic Development Committee meeting, it became clear that there isn't one yet. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH

While there was debate over the BACC’s governance and physical needs (flooring, plumbing, etc.), the committee chose to table substantive planning. They are waiting for a 'meeting of the minds' with the Select Board before moving forward.

This delay leaves questions unanswered: Will there be a physical needs assessment? Who will manage the facility? Residents are asking for a strategic vision, not just administrative paperwork like 501(c)(3) status updates.

Economic development is on the line. The committee noted that without business growth, property taxes for all Bradford residents will keep rising. We need clear plans for our infrastructure to support that growth. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/economic-development/2026-04-15/

Longer-form draft.
During the April 15th Economic Development Committee meeting, a significant gap emerged between administrative tasks and strategic planning for Bradford’s future. Much of the discussion centered on the Bradford Area Community Center (BACC). While there is clear debate regarding the building’s future use, its necessary renovations (including plumbing and flooring), and its governance, the committee ultimately voted to table substantive planning. They have opted to wait for further alignment with the Select Board before making concrete decisions. This leaves the community in a holding pattern regarding a major town asset. At the same time, the committee highlighted a sobering reality: without active efforts to attract businesses through incentives like the 79E property tax freeze and Economic Revitalization Zones, Bradford residents should expect continued upward pressure on property taxes. As the committee works on a postcard campaign to spread awareness of these incentives, residents are left waiting for a clear, evidence-based roadmap for our community infrastructure and the long-term use of our public buildings. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/economic-development/2026-04-15/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
