CONWAY — Amid rising gasoline and other prices, selectmen decided Tuesday to halt several road paving projects this year as they otherwise won’t have enough money to run the plow trucks this winter unless they call for a special town meeting to unlock funds they have in the general fund.
Town Manager Tom Holmes said although about $40,000 was added to the town’s proposed operating budget at deliberative session in March, the $12,754,558 operating budget voters passed in April still can’t accommodate paving roads and running trucks.
