Longer-form draft.
At the May 4 Select Board meeting, the issue of noise from the Pemigewasset Valley Fish and Game Club gun range took center stage. Residents, specifically those living on Beede Road, raised concerns regarding the ongoing disturbance to their peace and residential quiet. The Board clarified a difficult reality for the town: under state law (RSA 159B), local noise ordinances do not apply to the club. This means the Select Board currently has no legal mechanism to stop the noise at the local level. Rather than leaving the issue at a standstill, the Board has scheduled a meeting for May 12 with state representatives to explore whether legislative changes can provide the relief residents are seeking. We will continue to monitor whether this shift to state-level advocacy produces any actual results for impacted neighbors. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-05-04/ #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
