DIXVILLE — As Les Otten and Dixville Capital still seek the necessary financing to begin the restoration of the Balsams Resort, time is ticking on its regulatory approvals. The project first came before the Coos Planning Board in 2013 and many of the permits granted contained five-year deadlines.
Representing Dixville Capital, Ed Brisson was before the planning board last Wednesday requesting five-year extensions of site plan and subdivisions approvals for redevelopment of the Hampshire and Dix Houses.
