The Town of Northwood, New Hampshire

The Selectmen appointed a Town Facilities Committee during the 1990s which started the process of preserving and updating various town buildings. This committee worked for several years, and for reasons unknown terminated their activities. In 2005 the Selectmen appointed five residents to the re-activated committee, and charged them with presenting their recommendations for town facilities repairs, etc. for the annual budget of the town each year.

Since 2005 the committee has recommended many improvements to town buildings, and has participated in the planning for town ball fields, restoration of the community hall, and the painting of the town hall inside and out, town garage and community hall. An expendable trust fund was established for maintenance of town buildings, and each year money has been voted at town meeting to be placed in this fund. As projects are approved at town meeting, the Selectmen use these funds and any funds left over remain in the trust fund.

Anyone interested in serving on this committee should contact the Selectmen’s Office for a volunteer application.
