OSSIPEE — A Carroll County Superior Court judge said she will decide as quickly as she can whether the North Conway Grand Hotel’s lawsuit against Settlers Green should be dismissed.
If the case drags on, it would throw a wrench into developer Rob Barsamian’s plans to start building a Market Basket supermarket in North Conway this summer. Barsamian is president of OVP Management, owner of Settlers Green.
