CONWAY — The rollout plan for a newly revamped rental inspection program was presented by town staff to selectmen Tuesday, and if all goes well, rental properties in town will have to be registered by Dec. 31.
However, a lawsuit from an association of short- and long-term rental property owners in Carroll County Superior Court is still pending and could potentially derail the plan.
