NHDOT DEARBOARN ROAD CLOSURE (STRATHAM LANE DETOUR)
NH DOT has announced a culvert replacement project is scheduled to begin Thursday, October 8, 2020, at 6 am on Dearborn Road near the junction with NH-33 in Greenland.  Dearborn Road will be closed to through traffic from the junction of NH-33 to the junction of Stratham Lane.  It is anticipated that the road will be closed to through traffic for two (2) days.  Detour signs will be installed to direct traffic around the closure via Stratham Lane.

INFORMATION ON NH LIQUOR STORE
Members of the public have inquired about the status of the NH Liquor Store in Stratham.  The Town understands the State does not plan to reopen the Liquor Store which was said to have closed initially due to COVID and staffing challenges.  The Select Board Chair recently wrote to the NH Legislative Delegation to provide information in response to inquiries about the Commission's effort to relocate its store, which has been posted to the Select Board portion of the Town’s website, see link. https://www.strathamnh.gov/select-board/news/letter-stratham-legislative-delegation-regarding-nh-liquor-store
