CONWAY — The emergency shelter for Conway will be at the Kennett Middle School and be managed by the Red Cross, the town emergency manager recently proposed to selectmen, who approved the plan.
Town Emergency Management Director Stephen Solomon presented the plan to selectmen on Jan. 3, just after two winter storms knocked out power to many residents.
