CONWAY — Prior to a public hearing held by selectmen Tuesday afternoon, a few selectmen and town and state officials went on a guided tour of the peninsula on Pequawket Pond that is to be turned over by the state to the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust for ownership and management.
Executive Councilor Kenney (R-Wakefield) arrived at the end of the tour Tuesday and also attended the hearing at town hall.
