CONWAY — A town vote on whether North Conway Village should have taxpayer-funded public bathrooms ended up in a tie, with a recount likely to take place.
Asked in Article 22 to spend $399,000 for public restrooms in North Conway Village, voters were split, resulting in a 581-581 stalemate. Article 22 will fail if it remains a tie after a recount. According to Town Moderator Chris Meier, under state law, recounts are done by petition within seven days.
