CONWAY — Selectmen Tuesday heard from an employee of the North Conway 5¢ and 10¢ Store with several health challenges who says the proposed paid parking program will be difficult for her and other out-of-town employees to manage and pay for.
Selectmen voted to put $242,000 in a proposed $14.3 million operating budget to fund a new paid parking program in North Conway. Residents will vote on the budget at the deliberative session in March and at the polls in April.
