Local chambers of commerce are urging patrons to respect the wishes of local businesses that are continuing with mask mandates even after the state’s mandate expired on April 16.
Nonie’s Restaurant and Bakery owner Greg Smith said he hadn’t noticed an increase in unmasked patrons since the statewide mask ordinance expired, but that his business was continuing with all COVID-19 prevention protocols regardless. Most people continue to wear their masks when visiting, he said. A share of people refuse, which sometimes prompts Smith himself to explain to them that Nonie’s requires masks for the safety of employees and others. The restaurant continues to require masks, and is keeping Plexiglas barriers and distanced seating arrangements in place. “I don’t see any reason to stop,” he said. “This thing’s not over,” he said.

Three candidates are vying for Peterborough’s open three-year seat on the Select Board this year. The position is currently held by Ed Juengst, who was appointed temporarily in September after Karen Hatcher resigned, citing conflicts with her paid position as Peterborough’s Community and Economic Development Coordinator, which she took in April 2020. Hatcher is in the race to reclaim her seat, and intends to keep her job with the town as well, she said. “I believe that my work in the community both as a volunteer and as a town employee … provides a deep understanding of what needs to be considered to solve the complex issues before us,” in the post-pandemic world, she said.

As the May ballot approaches, the Planning Board is in its final days of explaining its zoning overhaul to the public, and the board is receiving mixed reactions.
The board has several amendments on the ballot this year, the most comprehensive of which is its “zoning simplification” amendment. While its aim is to streamline the code, the amendment itself is the longest and most complex of the ones proposed by the board this year, and will have the most impact on what types of building can go on in town.
The “simplification” piece of the ordinance is that it makes the zoning more uniform, taking the existing districts and overlays and making them into more packaged districts. While some regulations are changing, many of them will stay the same for those areas, such as what uses are allowed there.
