WOLFEBORO — Danish artist Thomas Dambo has declined an invitation to build a giant wooden troll sculpture in Wolfeboro after the project failed to secure approval for a proposed site, project co-chair Catherine Dragonfly said.

In an email Wednesday, Dragonfly said the effort stalled after years of delays and an inability to obtain approval for a location on town property. She called the project an opportunity for year-round tourism, environmental education and community partnerships.
