Longer-form draft.
At the April 16th meeting of the New London Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee, a key discussion took place regarding the financial management of future project funds—specifically for the proposed pocket park. The committee is currently debating whether to utilize a town-managed account or to operate under the nonprofit status of the BikeWalk Alliance of New Hampshire to process donations. This isn't just about logistics; it's about how public-interest money is handled, tracked, and held accountable to the taxpayers and donors of New London. While the committee noted they will not begin active fundraising until a clear administrative process is in place, the choice between a municipal account and a third-party nonprofit involves significant questions of transparency and oversight. As the committee prepares to meet with the Board of Selectmen on April 23rd to discuss public outreach and project status, residents should keep a close eye on how this 'financial vehicle' is eventually structured. We need to ensure that any funds raised for community improvements are managed with the highest level of fiscal responsibility. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/bpac/2026-04-16/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
