Longer-form draft.
Two significant topics were discussed during the Springfield Board of Selectmen meeting on March 9 that require resident attention: municipal fees and street lighting policy. First, a new proposed fee schedule was presented by the Zoning Coordinator. These fees impact the cost of conducting town business and obtaining permits. Recognizing the financial impact on residents, the Board has been tasked with scheduling a formal public hearing by March 23 so the community can review and weigh in on these changes. Second, the Board is currently debating the future of Springfield's street lighting. The discussion centered on whether the town should invest in LED upgrades or move toward eliminating street lighting entirely to reduce costs. While the immediate priority is repairing currently malfunctioning lights, the decision between energy efficiency and public visibility/safety is still pending. We will continue to monitor the scheduling of the fee schedule hearing. Residents should prepare to attend and voice their opinions on how these costs and infrastructure changes will affect our community. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/springfield/select-board/2026-03-09/ #MeetingWatch #SpringfieldNH
