Suncook River Nomination: There was discussion about whether or not the Town should take part in the Nomination of the Suncook River into the River Management Protection
Program. The Conservation Commission and the Historical Society are in favor of the nomination. There were several riparian owners present who once again expressed their desire for the Selectmen not to participate in the process.
