Third: The Community Center. With the building in disrepair, the push is on for a cohesive strategic plan and grant funding rather than small, uncoordinated repairs that don't address the long-term vision for the space. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/select-board/2026-03-23/

Longer-form draft.
At the March 23 Select Board meeting, several issues surfaced that highlight the tension between current town procedures and resident expectations for transparency and fairness. One of the most pressing concerns involved the sale of town-owned property. A resident submitted a letter expressing deep disappointment with how certain land parcels are being handled, raising the alarm that selling property to specific individuals sets a precedent for favoritism. While the Board maintained that the process is legal, they have committed to investigating how these sales serve the best interests of the entire community. There were also pointed questions regarding municipal hiring. During discussions about the new facilities maintenance position, a board member raised a critical ethical question: Is the town creating a job description to fit a specific person they have already chosen, or are they defining the duties to attract the most qualified candidate? This distinction is vital for maintaining public trust in town government. Finally, the future of the dilapidated Community Center remains a point of contention. Rather than spending money on piecemeal cosmetic upgrades, there is a growing call from the community for a long-term strategic plan and the pursuit of grants to ensure any renovations meet a meaningful, long-term vision for the town. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/select-board/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
