CONWAY — The Conway Planning Board unanimously approved a request from Barnes Development LLC at its June 11 meeting to amend terms of the previously approved 88-unit affordable housing project. The amendment would give developers additional time before performance bonding requirements wo be met.
In September 2025, developers received conditional approval for the project through July 9, 2026. The property is owned by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.
