Select Board · Meeting of January 27, 2026
NH GOFFSTOWN — Select Board backs high school generator project with no town cost. Fire Chief Benjamin Sellecki won unanimous board approval to submit a Hazard Mitigation Program Grant application, with Goffstown High School and SAU 19 covering 25% and the town bearing no operating costs. The project addresses accessibility gaps by positioning the high school as the town's primary emergency shelter.
The board approved the Fire Chief's plan to decommission the town's century-old fire master box system, beginning with Circuit 3 removal estimated at $7,800. The board additionally approved the Department of Public Works' annual hazardous waste grant and the Police Department's equitable sharing agreement with the Department of Justice.
