Longer-form draft.
At the March 9 Select Board meeting, two key issues were raised that could impact both the safety and the budget of Holderness: the stalled Plymouth State University (PSU) agreement and a dispute with the NHDES. Police Chief Erik DiFilippe expressed significant frustration regarding the lack of progress on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PSU. He warned that the delay is placing an unnecessary operational burden on the Holderness Police Department. Without a finalized agreement, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding how police resources will be managed in relation to the university. Additionally, Town Administrator Michael Capone reported that the town is contesting a requirement from the NHDES to perform a Post Closure Report. While the administration is actively resisting this requirement, such disputes with state agencies can often lead to administrative or financial complications for the municipality down the road. As these issues develop, residents should stay informed about how these service strains and regulatory disagreements are being managed by the Select Board. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-03-09/ #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
