Longer-form draft.
On June 8, the Hollis Select Board made several significant decisions that will impact the town's long-term finances and infrastructure. Most notably, the Board authorized a $2,770,000 municipal bond. This new debt is intended to fund a $2,400,000 reconstruction of the transfer station wall and a $370,000 solar photovoltaic array for the Public Works cold storage building. This represents a major financial commitment for all Hollis taxpayers. In addition to the bond, the Board approved seven new items for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), including a fire engine replacement and an ADA assessment for Town Hall. During the discussion, board members raised concerns about the liability of conducting an ADA assessment that identifies deficiencies which the town may not have the immediate resources to correct. The Board also discussed a new "Right to Know" policy intended to track costs and coordinate requests across departments. Due to concerns regarding requestor privacy and legal definitions, the Board has postponed the vote pending a review by the Town Attorney. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/select-board/2026-06-08/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
