CONWAY — Craft fair vendors are taking up prime parking spaces near Schouler Park that should be left for customers, local business leaders told selectmen on Tuesday at the board's weekly meeting. The discussion led one selectman to suggest revisiting the topic of paid parking in North Conway.
The issue was brought to selectmen’s attention by Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chris Proulx, outgoing Chamber President Paul Durfee and businessman Alec Tarberry.
