BERLIN — The public will have an opportunity Wednesday, to provide input on whether the city should extend its ownership of Route 110 an additional two miles. Under the proposal, the city would own and control the road all the way to the entrance to Jericho Mountain State Park. The hearing on the proposal is being held at the city hall auditorium starting at 6 p.m.

The urban compact line currently ends at the location of White Mountain Distributors building and the proposal would extend the compact line west to Jericho Mountain State Park. Businesses owners on that section of Route 110 said local ownership would allow the city more flexibility in promoting ATV-based development in that area. Berlin would be able to make changes to the speed limit and control access/driveway permitting, as it does throughout the city.
