Hearing held on local roads bill

CONCORD—For a little while last week, the road funding dispute between Haverhill and Woodsville took center stage, virtually, in Concord.
Legislators from Bedford, Nashua and over 20 other Granite State communities that serve on the New Hampshire House Public Works and Highway Committee listened as more than a dozen witnesses testified about proposed changes to an obscure state law that sets the amount of property tax revenue the town of Haverhill gives the precinct of Woodsville for road maintenance and related expenses.
