Town Meeting Postponed
Posted on: March 13, 2023 - 4:11pm
Dear Lyme Residents/Voters:
Due to the impending snowstorm and a Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service, the Town of Lyme is postponing Town Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
The 'Business Meeting' portion of Town Meeting (in-person voting for various warrant articles listed in the Town Report) will now be held on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 6 PM at the Lyme School Gym/Community Room.
The 'Official Ballot' portion of Town Meeting (voting for Town Officials, School District Officials, and the one Zoning Amendment) will now be held on Tuesday, March 28, 2023, from 7 AM - 7 PM at the Lyme School Gym/Community Room.
The decision to postpone both 'parts' of Town Meeting was made in close consultation with Lyme's Road Agent, Police Chief, Emergency Management Director, Town Clerk, Select Board and other election officials. We had the benefit of detailed weather information directly from the National Weather Service.
The postponement is being done in accordance with RSA 669:1, and RSA 40:4.
