CONWAY — At the selectmen's last meeting, a handful of residents asked the board to explore charging for parking and coming up with other means of reducing taxes.
Agenda item No. 8 at Tuesday's selectmen's meeting was "Paid Parking in North Conway Village." The town instituted paid parking for out-of-towners at Davis Park, First Bridge and Smith Eastman Landing several summers ago — $20 per day or $3 per hour at Smith Eastman.Â
