CONWAY â A group advocating for responsible short-term rental ownership today plans to ask selectmen to hold off on enforcing a ban on STRs. The local chamber of commerce slso seeks a grace period on enforcement.
The Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce recently released a statement on the STR issue, saying it supports a grace period through Columbus Day weekend to allow STR owners and those who have made their vacation plans to include an STR stay time to adjust to the new rules passed by majority vote at the April Town Meeting.
âWe feel confident that the Town of Conway Board of Selectman will approach this issue with fairness as they begin the process of administering the will of the voters,â said the chamber.

CONWAY After two nights of final interviews, the Selectboard voted Thursday night to name Veronique Blanchard as its first choice for the permanent town administrator position, pending successful negotiations.
Blanchard, who currently serves in roles on the Conway Board of Health and as the assistant emergency management director for the town, was the Selectboard’s top candidate of the four who were interviewed between Wednesday and Thursday night.
Selectboard Chair Bob Armstrong said the idea is to have a permanent administrator in place by July 1. Negotiations with Blanchard will begin next week, and if successful, the board will extend her a formal offer.
