Lawmakers budget $1m to rehab old nursing home
Farm fresh
But no decision yet on whether cooperative extension will move into the building BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
OSSIPEE — Lawmakers set a $1 million budget for rehabbing the old nursing home but in a drama-filled meeting they refused to decide if the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension should move into the building. The county is building a new nursing home, called Mountain View Community, for up to $23.5 million. The new building will be in use by mid September. On Monday, lawmakers discussed what to do with the old building. In county government, a group of 14 state representatives, called the delegation, approves county budgets, which the county commissioners manage with help from department heads.
