CONWAY — Conway selectmen on Tuesday unanimously approved the rental licensing and inspection program being proposed by Deputy Town Manager Paul DegliAngeli.
Selectmen in their 5-0 vote decided that the program targeting one- and two-family homes that are rented either long- or short-term would start Sept. 1. Landlords would have until Jan. 1, 2024, to get their licenses.
