New Business:
Planning/Zoning Coordinator Benjamin Gaetjens-Oleson presented to the Board a request to
designate an Economic Revitalization Zone (ERZ). This designation enables businesses located within
that zone to apply for business tax credits through the State when they make investments into capital
improvements or creating jobs. NIPRO, formerly PJ Noyes, approached the Town requesting we
designate their properties as they have plans to invest in their Bridge Street location. Mr. GaetjensOleson and Town Manager, Ed Samson, felt it would be beneficial to designate other areas of Town in
addition to the NIPRO property. The areas recommended to the Selectboard, by Mr. Gaetjens-Oleson
and Mr. Samson, are areas of North Main Street, Bridge Street and all of the recently created Central
Business District (a copy of the specific description is attached to the minutes). This is strictly a
State designation based on the Town’s request and does not affect taxes paid to the Town. The tax
credits are solely for State taxes. Once the Selectboard recommends the area to be designated Mr.
Gaetjens-Oleson will complete the paperwork for the State.
A motion was made David Stickney and seconded by Leo Enos to recommend the area presented
by Benjamin Gaetjens-Oleson for designation as an Economic Revitalization Zone. A vote was
taken and the motion carried.
Also presented was a letter from NH National Guard for an abatement request due to the fact
that a check they had mailed had not been received on time and there was a late fee attached. After
some discussion a motion was made.
A motion was made by David Stickney and seconded by Leo Enos to abate the interest charge on
the account. A vote was taken and the motion carried.
Information:
Also in the packet were two building permits:
Roy Ingerson – 34 Ingerson Road
Remove existing 16' x25' garage and replace in-kind, on slap on
existing footprint.
North Country Motor Sales – 213 Elm St.
Construct a 14' x 28' addition on slab existing “Collision Center” for
parts storage.
Noting that there was nothing further to come before the meeting a motion was called for to adjourn.
A motion was made by David Stickney and seconded by Leo Enos to adjourn. A vote was taken
and the meeting adjourned at 6:41 P.M.
