Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

1. Bedford's TF Moran engineering is a key player in an ambitious $21.5 million development on the picturesque land of the former Laconia State School. A Manchester developer entered into a purchase and sales agreement with the state after a 3-2 executive council vote. Development plans include a housing complex, hotel and conference center, and retail space. Laconia Mayor Andrew Hosmer and state commissioner Charlie Arlinghaus said they are "pleased with progress on the development," but the project will need "adequate water and sewer for as many as 1,900 units." (InDepth NH)
2. School is canceled today, Tuesday, due to local elections. For teachers, it's a "Teacher Workshop Day," said the Superintendent & Schedule Adjuster in a recent post. Moving the voting date to March 28 did not change the last day of school, "which is June 14," he added. Voting will be from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. in the Bedford High School gym. (Parent Square)
3. Why wait, when you can watch live local election results on BCTV! Tune in to BCTV for live election results on channels 22 & HD1072. The Conservation Commission Meeting will be broadcast live Tuesday night on BCTV channel 16. See the complete program schedule here: (Bedford (NH) Community Television via Facebook)
4. Join in the "$5 off" Spring Fever sale for a $5,000 cash raffle to benefit the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to help the many shelter pets in its care. One lucky person will win a $5,000 cash prize on Friday!

5. Local residents reported seeing and hearing low flying F-15 military jets on Thursday. Two military F-15s were conducting "training exercises" and low-flying maneuvers around the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, according to airport officials. A WMUR "u local" viewer captured video of one of the jets. See the video here: (WMUR via Instagram)
