What's important ⁠this week

The Holderness Planning Board voted unanimously to re-open the town's Master Plan survey after discovering a mailing error. This decision was made to correct potential bias caused by missing resident addresses, which ⁠places the Land Use chapter on hold until new data arrives.

Beyond the survey updates, officials addressed a resident inquiry regarding the status of a cell tower decommissioning bond. While the board assigned a formal status check to this matter, they provided no immediate details regarding ⁠enforcement or coverage levels.

Residents should watch for the arrival of new postcards in the mail to ensure ⁠accurate community feedback is captured. The board's next steps will depend on comparing these new results against the existing data to resolve the Master Plan discrepancies.

Talking points

Board members noted similar response patterns so far but voted unanimously to mail first-class postcards to ~1133 resident addresses and pause the Land Use chapter until new data is reviewed. Goal: confirm whether results differ meaningfully.
One public question on the cell tower decommissioning bond received acknowledgment and a follow-up assignment to the Select Board, but no bond status or enforcement details were provided at the meeting.
