GORHAM — The selectmen voted unanimously at Monday’s evening’s April 26 meeting to allow the Coos Cycling Club to use 250 feet of town-owned land so it can construct a new trail connection on the Pine Mountain side of town.
The bulk of this route to the Bear Springs Trail will be on the family-owned Gorham Land Company, which already has granted permission, explained club trails operations manager Jason Hunter.
