What’s happening with Mason’s long-term planning? During the May 26 Select Board meeting, several land-use and financial updates were discussed that affect every resident. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
First, the Planning Board noted a conflict between the town’s Master Plan and the Planning Ordinance. However, the Master Plan project is now slated to remain on hold until 2027. This means existing planning discrepancies may persist for another year.
The Board is also seeking legal input to define 'normal working hours' specifically for a rural context. How this is defined will impact local businesses and neighbors alike.
Finally, the Board unanimously approved the 2026 Fund Balance and Investment Policies. These policies set the framework for how Mason manages and protects its public funds moving forward. #FiscalResponsibility https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/select-board/2026-05-26/
Mason Select Board Meeting Update: May 26, 2026 During the recent Select Board meeting, several key decisions were made regarding the town's finances and land-use planning. The Board unanimously approved the 2026 Town of Mason Fund Balance Policy and the 2026 Investment Policy. These documents are essential as they establish the standards for how our tax dollars are managed and invested over the coming year. On the planning front, updates from the Planning Board revealed a conflict between the town's Master Plan and the current Planning Ordinance. Residents should be aware that the Board has decided to wait for the NRPC ordinance audit to finish before addressing these conflicts, with the Master Plan project not expected to resume until 2027. Additionally, the Select Board is moving toward seeking legal counsel to clarify how 'normal working hours' should be defined within our specific rural context—a decision that could influence local zoning and operational regulations. Stay informed about how these administrative timelines and financial policies affect your property and your taxes. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/select-board/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
