June 29, 2026

The Acworth Select Board approved minutes from June 15 and 18, and authorized the bill, payroll, and LUCT warrants. For a supplemental tax warrant, the Board approved signing the document after striking the "8% interest" clause due to a late issuance caused by a data transfer error. The Board approved building permits for R Freiberger M209 L1 and G&C Sielicki M201 L105. A demolition permit for G&C Sielicki was passed over to the July 6 meeting pending information on septic pump and inspection. The Highway Department denied a driver's reimbursement request for a blown tire. Work included pothole patching on Allen and Cold Pond Roads, storm cleanup, and culvert repairs on Lufkin Loop. The Grout Hill Bridge project awaits shoreland permit approval and receding water levels. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. Source: https://www.acworthnh.net/_files/ugd/a327e9_fd4fa29925a147ad8ce24c4dfe786c79.pdf
