LACONIA — A majority of the City Council has agreed to supplement the School District’s capital campaign by providing sufficient funding to include the construction of six science laboratories and the reconfiguration of the athletic playing fields in the expansion and renovation of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center at the High School. Councilors are expected to consider the amount and terms

of the borrowing required when they meet Monday night. “Now is the opportunity to do this project,” Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) said yesterday, noting that it was the last project to receive school building aid from the state before a moratorium was declared. “ We should do it right. For the extra money we have to invest, it will be worth it. “ School Superintendent Bob Champlin

said yesterday that assuming the ongoing capital campaign raises $1-million, the available funding for the project would be approximately $813,000 shy of the most recent estimated cost of $16.6-million. The Bank of New Hampshire has contributed $250,000 to the capital campaign and in return the all-weather turf stadium will bear its name. Other corporate contribusee LHs page 7

BELMONT — Selectmen will discuss the timeline surrounding the village revitalization project at the regular meeting Monday night with an eye to holding a special Town Meeting in August to determine the future of Mill Street. The proposed project recommends Mill Street be closed from Main Street down and a new access to the historic mill be constructed on the site of the existing municipal parking lot on the north side of the library. Only Town Meeting can close a road and, with the project scheduled to begin in mid-July, voters need to approve the road closure. One abutters is not happy see BELMONt page 6
