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
