Hampton voters reject $15.7M project to fix pothole plagued streets
HAMPTON – A $15.7 million bond project to reconstruct pothole-plagued Winnacunnet Road and High Street hit a roadblock at Tuesday’s Town Meeting.
While the majority of voters supported the project by a vote of 1,576 to 1,353, it didn’t receive the 60% needed to gain approval.
“I’m disappointed,” said Selectman Rusty Bridle. “Some of the biggest complaints in this town in the last three years has been the condition of the roads.”
“I guess they want to drive on those roads,” said Selectman Regina Barnes.
The article, which included funds to replace sewer/drainage and sidewalks, called for the town to bond $13.7 million over 30 years. The remainder of the balance would have come from the Road Improvement Capital Reserve Fund and the town’s unassigned fund balance, at a million each.
