Thompson Conservation Easement

At the Town Council meeting on June 1, 2015, the Council was presented with a summary with accompanying maps and budget information prepared by Duane Hyde of the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire (SELT) relative to conserving the Thompson tract on the Lamprey River.  SELT and the Town have been working with the family of the late Shirley Thompson and the Town to acquire the fee simple interest in the approximately 43.4-acre Thompson property which has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on Wednesday Hill Road and approximately 3,500 feet of frontage on the Lamprey River. Upon acquiring the land the Town would then permanently conserve the land by granting a conservation easement to SELT.

A Public Hearing has been scheduled for the Town Council meeting on Monday, November 2, 2015 relative to the acquisition of the Thompson parcel. Documents pertaining to this matter may be viewed below.
