JACKSON — Town meeting was held at the Whitney Center as scheduled March 12, despite concerns about the coronavirus, with Moderator Willis Kelley advising voters at the outset of the meeting that as of that night, the state of New Hampshire had yet to declare a state of emergency.
Among business conducted at the meeting was the passage by a show of hands of Article 8, to spend $25,000 on a feasibility study on possibly renovating or replacing the 73-year-old station.
