OSSIPEE — Selectmen have announced that their meetings will now be held at the Freight House rather than on the upper floor of Town Hall, which has no elevator and is not handicap accessible.
State Rep. Bobbi Boudman (D-Wolfeboro), who is running for state Senate, raised the issue with Jonathan Smith, chair of the Ossipee selectmen, after hearing from constituents.
