Longer-form draft.
At the April 9 Select Board meeting, several issues were discussed that directly impact the wallets and neighborhoods of New London residents. First, the issue of energy costs. There is a growing discrepancy between Community Power rates and Eversource rates, with residents reporting higher costs through the town program. While the Board acknowledged these concerns, a formal update and specific recommendations regarding future rates have been pushed out to the July meeting. For families managing tight budgets, waiting until mid-summer for clarity on utility costs is a significant concern. Second, the Board addressed the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Secret Cove property on Davis Hill Road. To address community anxiety and local rumors regarding the property's future use, the Board recommended that the Planning Board reach out to specific stakeholders. Residents deserve transparency regarding whether this land will be used for development, conservation, or other purposes, as these decisions shape the character of our community. Finally, the Board approved a request for $6,692.90 from the reserve fund to support the proposed solar project at the stump dump. We will continue to monitor how reserve funds are allocated and ensure the town provides timely information on utility rates and land-use decisions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/select-board/2026-04-09/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
