Holderness Select Board meeting recap (April 20, 2026): Two major issues emerged that will impact your wallet and your community's safety. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
1/ Property Tax Equity: The Board addressed concerns regarding assessment ratios between lake and off-lake properties. There is a growing fear that residents not on the lake are subsidizing those on the lake. The Board is looking into timely reassessments to fix this.
2/ PSU Policing: The Board is actively pursuing a formal policing agreement with Plymouth State University. Scott Weden stated he will 'fight' for an agreement similar to the one in Plymouth. This could change how public safety is managed in our town.
3/ Summary: While many items were routine (composting pilots, Master Plan funding), the issues of tax equity and law enforcement agreements require close resident monitoring. Stay engaged. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-04-20/
Holderness Select Board Meeting Accountability Update: April 20, 2026 During the April 20th Select Board meeting, two significant issues were discussed that directly impact Holderness residents: property tax equity and local policing. First, the Board addressed concerns regarding property assessment ratios. There is a growing concern among residents that the current assessment system creates an imbalance, potentially forcing off-lake property owners to subsidize lakefront property owners. Board members acknowledged the need for timely reassessments to ensure that the tax burden is distributed equitably across the town. Second, the Board is moving forward with efforts to establish a formal policing agreement with Plymouth State University. Select Board member Scott Weden expressed a commitment to securing an agreement similar to the one currently in place in Plymouth. Because this involves inter-municipal relations and the allocation of town resources for public safety, residents should pay close attention to how these negotiations progress. While the Board also approved routine items—including a composting pilot program at the Transfer Station and funding for Master Plan survey postcards—the discussions on taxation and policing are the key takeaways for community members watching how our town is managed. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-04-20/ #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
