Lebanon Prospect Hills development runs out of time

LEBANON City officials have signaled that they’re tired of waiting on a major developer from Manchester to deliver on its promise to build 117 new homes near Lebanon Middle School, deciding to effectively kill the 15-year-old project.
The Lebanon Planning Board voted unanimously last week to deny Brady Sullivan an extension that would have allowed it to continue work on the Prospect Hills subdivision into 2024.
Construction on the project’s second phase, 43 single-family homes and 74 townhouse-style units on a 40-acre wooded parcel, was supposed to be underway in December.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic and unexpected problems wrapping up the development’s first phase 54 homes around Mountain View Drive delayed that work, according to Brady Sullivan’s representatives.

LEBANON The City Council approved a $61.1 million budget for the coming year that preserves the energy and facilities manager position championed by sustainability advocates that had been in danger of being eliminated.
The spending plan will come as a disappointment to those calling for sweeping changes to how Lebanon allocates its tax dollars.
Groups proposing that the city to either drastically curtail police spending or cut taxes were equally rebuffed during a roughly 4½-hour meeting Wednesday night.
About two dozen speakers argued for their priorities to make it into the 2021 budget, from calls to maintain funds for an upcoming library renovation to lamentations that property taxes are pushing residents to look for homes elsewhere.
