CONWAY — Selectmen will meet with the town attorney next Tuesday in the wake of Tuesday’s vote, which rejected articles to permit short-term rentals, Town Manager Tom Holmes said Wednesday. The STR vote brought to a head a controversy that has been building over the years. While some believe the rentals, such as Airbnb, are a boon to the local economy, others say they destroy neighborhoods. At the polls, those with the latter view prevailed.

Article 3, which asked to allow short-term rentals in any zone where a single-family home is permitted, failed 1,015-492.
