This decision comes after residents rejected the proposed budget at Town Meeting. By choosing the default budget path, the Board is opting for an administrative process rather than giving voters another opportunity to approve a revised fiscal plan. (2/3)

The move affects all Goffstown taxpayers and determines how municipal services are funded for 2026. Residents should stay informed on how the default budget will impact local services and tax rates. (3/3) https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/select-board/2026-03-23/

Longer-form draft.
At the March 23 Select Board meeting, a significant decision was made regarding the town's fiscal future. After the proposed budget failed to pass at Town Meeting, the Board discussed whether to hold a special election to present a revised operating budget to the public. Ultimately, the Board decided to move forward with the default budget instead of pursuing a special election. This means the town will proceed under the existing default framework rather than offering residents a second chance to vote on a revised version of the budget. This decision impacts all Goffstown taxpayers and dictates how town services will be funded for the 2026 fiscal year. Additionally, the Board voted to restore three tracts of land at 20 Knollcrest Road that had been involuntarily merged by the town for tax purposes back in 1973. This corrects a decades-old administrative action that was not initiated by the property owners. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/goffstown/select-board/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #GoffstownNH
