Public Notice: Cancellation of Residential Hazardous Waste Collection Day

The Town hereby announces that the Residential Hazardous Waste Collection Day scheduled for this year June 20, 2026, has been cancelled.

This tough decision was made due to the significant costs associated with event setup, vendor services, staffing, transportation, and regulatory compliance, which cannot be supported under the currently approved default budget. After careful review, the Select Board determined that these expenses are not financially feasible at this time.

The cancellation reflects the constraints imposed by the default budget vote and was not made lightly. The Town recognizes the importance of safe and responsible disposal of hazardous household materials and remains committed to exploring cost-effective alternatives or future opportunities when fiscal conditions are allowed.

The Town appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation as we continue to prioritize essential services while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Gerry Cornett, Transfer Manager, reached out to multiple vendors and larger towns with multiple annual collection events. Only one vendor reported that will accept materials directly from residents. The current pricing is $45.00 per unit. 5 gallons or 20 pounds

Secretary Scanlan Informs Voters of Annual Checklist Verification Process Under RSA 654:39, voters who have not voted in the past five years will need to re-register before they can vote in future elections.

CONCORD, NH (April 21, 2026): Secretary of State David Scanlan informs New Hampshire voters of the annual verification of the voter checklist process required by New Hampshire law.

Under RSA 654:39, supervisors of the checklist/registrars, who are responsible for adding and removing names from their city or town’s voter checklist, must hold public sessions between April 1 and August 1 of 2026 to determine which voters on the checklist have not voted in any elections in the past five years and who have not registered since the 2024 State General Election. These voters are required to re-register if they want to remain on the voter checklist and vote in future elections.

Supervisors of the checklist must inform any voter eligible for removal, at least 30 days before removing their name from the voter checklist, that they will be removed from the checklist and need to re-register following the instructions in the letter/postcard. Supervisors of the checklist/registrars are required by law to remove these voters from the voter checklist, no earlier than June 1, even if they know a voter still lives in town. Individuals who have permanently moved out of town do not need to respond to the letter as they will be removed from the checklist.

Voters can visit app.sos.nh.gov to find their local clerk’s contact information and check their voter registration information, if they are active voters.

David Scanlan, Secretary of State: “Our local election officials work hard every day to ensure that qualified voters in their communities are given the opportunity to exercise their right to vote. I applaud their efforts and encourage all New Hampshire voters to verify their registration information is up to date.”

Statement from the New Boston Select Board

March 10, 2026 Town Voting Results

March 19, 2026

To the residents of New Boston,

Thank you for coming out to vote on March 10th. There was a very good turnout this year.

The voters have chosen not to approve the proposed operating budget this year. With that said, the Select Board, along with the Town Administrator are working together with the department managers so that we can navigate and work within the default budget.

Over the next few weeks, our mission is to prioritize the critical needs of the town and create a roadmap for this fiscal year.

We are diligently working to find ways to operate effectively and efficiently to minimize any impact on town services for our residents.

Please feel free to reach out to the Town Administrator or any of the Select Board members should there be any questions regarding this matter.

The New Boston Select Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Chief James Brace for serving the Town of New Boston for over 14 years.

He has served this community with pride both in and out of uniform, bringing incredible dedication and leadership as New Boston Police Chief. During his 14-year tenure, he served as a constant source of energy, creativity, and commitment to our community. His legacy is in the countless lives he touched and enriched.

Jim put his heart and soul into this position and his other endeavors for the town including serving as Interim Town Administrator and as Chair of many town committees over the years.

He brought the Police Department to what it is today. We would also like to recognize and thank him for spending hundreds of hours of his own time bringing the police station renovation to a close. Without his perseverance and diligence, the renovation would not have happened.

As he embarks on this new and well-deserved chapter of retirement, we wish him joy, adventure, and relaxation. His contributions will not be forgotten.

NEW BOSTON, NH — The New Boston Select Board is proud to announce the promotion of Lieutenant Stephen Case to the rank of New Boston Police Chief.

Chief Case has been a dedicated member of the New Boston Police Department for over a decade, originally joining the force on June 1, 2013. During his tenure, he has steadily risen through the ranks while proudly and dutifully serving the community. He achieved the rank of Senior Patrolman in 2016, was promoted to Sergeant in 2018, and reached the rank of Lieutenant in early 2024.

Throughout his years of service, Chief Case has worn many hats within the department, serving in vital roles such as Prosecutor, Field Training Officer, Taser Instructor, D.A.R.E. Officer, and Mountain Bike Officer.

Beyond his law enforcement duties, Chief Case is widely recognized in the community for his active involvement in charity and outreach programs. His efforts have been instrumental in the annual CHaD Battle of the Badges events, which raise funds for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD), as well as The Heroes Cup Baseball games to benefit the Special Olympics New Hampshire (SONH).

“Chief Case is highly deserving of this promotion,” the Select Board stated in a joint release. “We are excited and thankful that he will continue to serve our community with the honor and distinction he has exhibited over the years.”

Swearing-In Ceremony

The New Boston Select Board warmly invites all residents and members of the community to join the Town in the Swearing-In Ceremony of New Boston Police Chief Stephen Case.

• When: Monday, April 6th at 6:30 PM

• Where: Whipple Free Library, New Boston, NH

Members of the public are encouraged to attend to show their support and congratulate Chief Case on his new role.
