NH LONDONDERRY — Londonderry Budget Committee backs FY2027 budget, rejects Morrison House bond. The seven-member committee unanimously recommended the town's FY2027 operating budget and most capital reserves, including measures for fire equipment, IT infrastructure, water systems, and transportation. However, the committee voted 0-5-2 against recommending a $3.3 million Morrison Meeting House bond, citing insufficient revenue planning and future operating-cost concerns.
Members unanimously opposed a related citizen petition for a Morrison Meeting House capital reserve fund (0-7). The committee declined to recommend two school citizen petition articles, determining these fell outside its budgetary scope. Split votes on a municipal transportation improvement fund (3-3-1) and a fire department training officer position (5-2) underscored differing priorities. ===END BRIEF===
