Longer-form draft.
At the June 17 Economic Development Committee meeting, several topics were discussed that will have long-term impacts on Bradford’s landscape and economy. One major focus was economic revitalization through the use of vacant properties. The committee is exploring the possibility of turning the old Merrimack farm store into a 'maker space' to attract visitors and small businesses. They also noted a specific need for a small engine shop in town and are looking into vacant properties, such as the garage owned by Oona, to fill these gaps. However, there is an ongoing debate within the committee regarding whether they should be actively advertising for businesses or simply acting as a 'connector' between landlords and seekers. Two other critical areas for residents to monitor include the future of the Jones Road sand pit and the administrative status of the Bradford Area Community Center (BACC). The committee is currently working to determine what will happen to the sand pit once extraction is finished, a decision that will affect local land use for years. Meanwhile, the BACC is facing hurdles in establishing its 501c3 status because the committee lacks the necessary signatory authority to access banking information, requiring them to track down former leadership to move forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/economic-development/2026-06-17/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
