CONWAY — Selectmen on Tuesday said taxpayers who have been delinquent since December should still be sent lien notices; however, they are considering ways to help residents who likely will struggle to pay their June bills due to the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Town Manager Tom Holmes was attending remotely from home, and Town Engineer Paul DegliAngeli, who sometimes fills in for Holmes, was at the table assisting the selectmen.
