Longer-form draft.
At the June 1st New London Recreation Commission meeting, several decisions were made that will directly impact residents' wallets and the town's landscape. First, the Commission is moving forward with a drastic increase in beach ticket prices. The proposed change would see costs jump from $25 to $100 per ticket, with the goal of implementing this by July or August. This matter is currently moving toward the Selectmen and Town Council for final coordination. Second, the Commission addressed the ongoing legal and zoning battle surrounding the 244-acre Kearsarge Community Common (KCC) proposal for the former Camp Wobbaso property. The Commission passed a motion to explore drafting a "suitably vague" letter of support for KCC’s upcoming administrative appeal. This appeal is critical; if KCC loses, the land could revert to a single-family residential status, fundamentally changing the property's potential use and the surrounding community's development landscape. As these decisions move toward implementation and legal hearings, residents should stay engaged with the Selectmen and ZBA to ensure their voices are heard on these significant changes. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/recreation-commission/2026-06-01/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
