5 Things: Planning Board to Discuss Flatley Property

Here are five things you need to know as you start your Tuesday.

1. Planning Board to meet. The Merrimack Planning Board will meet tonight in the Matthew Thornton Room at Town Hall beginning at 7:30 p.m. As part of the agenda, they will speak with representatives from the John J. Flatley Co. regarding a proposal to subdivide its land adjacent to St. Gobain at the northern end of Daniel Webster Highway. The full agenda is attached in PDF format.

2. Fine forgiveness. The Merrimack Public Library is using the month February for a "Bring Back the Books" initiative.  Throughout the month Merrimack Library cardholders can return overdue items and have outstanding overdue fines waived.”  The two primary goals of “Bring Back the Books” are to re-engage users who have accumulated fines they can’t pay and to get back long overdue materials. Fine amnesty applies only to overdue fines of Merrimack cardholders; fees for damaged or lost items stay intact. Merrimack Library cardholders interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should visit the Merrimack Public Library in person or call 424-5021. Read more here.
