CONWAY — Citing a hardship based on a location set far back from White Mountain Highway in North Conway, Market Basket received a variance for a larger-than-allowed sign from the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment on Nov. 17.
The store is still under construction at Settlers Green but is due to open next spring.

Please do the right thing and revisit the bakery decision.
Something smells. Market Basket gets granted a a variance but the little bakery can't display a mural painted by students.
That's great the planning board granted a sign variance for Market Basket, they should go get muffins at Leavitt's to celebrate.
