TOWN HEBRON New Hampshire for the Fiscal Year ANNUAL REPORT For The TOWN of HEBRON New Hampshire For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2014 Dedication Phil and Betsy Twombly The Hebron Select Board would like to dedicate the 2014 Town Report to Phil and Betsy Twombly for their valuable contributions to the town and to the Newfound area. Phil and Betsy moved to Hebron full-time in 1990 into a beautiful home on Hobart Hill Road designed by their son Peter. But their presence goes a long way back! Betsy became a summer resident as a very young child when her parents built a log cabin on Owlshead on West Shore Road in the early 1930’s. After their marriage, Phil and Betsy raised their five children, summering at Owlshead and spending winter weekends skiing at Tenney Mountain. They now share that summer tradition with grandchildren and great grandchildren. As soon as they retired to Hebron, Betsy began Muddy Paws Pottery with her passion for ceramics. Phil joined the Planning Board and Betsy joined the Historic District Commission. They are active members of the Newfound Lake Region Association, the Hebron Audubon, and founders of the Naturally Newfound Fair. Phil and Betsy are also ardent volunteers, and you’ll find them pitching in everywhere. They take joy from everyone around them and return that energy tenfold. Their motto is: “Never stop moving,” and they live up to that every day.

  • I. INTRODUCTION & VISION VISION STATEMENT and PRINCIPALS
    I. INTRODUCTION & VISION Groton’s Master Plan (the “Plan”) is the cornerstone of the community’s growth and land management strategy. An underlying assumption of this Plan is that residential1 growth will continue to occur in Groton and that business uses2 will require Special Variance and Site Plan review before any activity is undertaken. The over-arching goal of this Plan is that all development, whether residential or business, only occur in the locations and patterns that support the Vision and Principals of this Plan while avoiding the negative impacts that can be associated with unwanted and unmanaged growth. This Plan, then, is a policy document for planning, now and for the future. It sets the framework for the implementation of specific policies, regulations and zoning, along with the granting or denial of applications under consideration by the Planning and Zoning Boards and the Selectman. As town officials execute their respective duties, they should address if their decisions are in keeping with the letter and spirit of the Visioning Statement, the Principals, the Goals and Objectives, and the body of the Plan. The Plan is also a reference document. It contains charts (based on resident survey responses), documents and maps (please refer to Appendices A – __ ). With the supporting text in the body of the plan addressing such topics as: future development, environmental, cultural, and historical preservation, community tax base and roads, it is intended to help our community meet change responsibly, guiding its growth in an orderly, constructive manner. The body of the Plan is comprised of these components: Sections that consider the Profile of the town, existing physical, economic, and historical/social conditions as well as questions/predictions and implications or trends, Underpinned by the Vision Statement and the Principals, each plan section has a Goal and a set of Objectives addressing the Towns highest priorities, Implementation, creating an Action Plan.

  • Jewell Hill West
    JEWELL HILL WEST A central valley wedged between three prominent ridges, holding a middle-aged timber resource where developed access leads to a high clearing with stunning views. 1,139± Acres Groton, Grafton County, New Hampshire Price: $775,000 Data Room Access Code - ricemine Fountains Land Inc, 175 Barnstead Road, Suite 4, P.O. Box 25, Pittsfield, NH 03263 Contact: Patrick Hackley ~ [email protected] ~ (603) 435-7428, Ext. 230 ~ Cell (603) 491-3649 LOCATION Jewell Hill West is located in Groton, New Hampshire (population 465), a township close to the state’s geographic center. This region is characterized by a dispersed population, scattered hamlets, and vast, unbroken stretches of forestland, set within sight of the White Mountain National Forest’s southern mountains. Three state forests encircle the parcel— Cockermouth to the east, Cardigan to the south, and Province Road to the west, the latter sharing a mutual boundary. The Sculptured Rocks Natural Area, a 272-acre state recreation area famous for its narrow, twisting “canyon” carved into the bedrock by centuries of glacial meltwater and now the Cockermouth River, sits just southeast of the land, offering a unique hiking and swimming experience. These Cardigan State Forest serves as the backdrop of Jewell Hill. significant public forests, intermingled with equally large private holdings, provide outstanding views from the land’s upper road spur, a choice location for those seeking an inspiring mountain retreat. Despite the surrounding “wilderness,” there are several popular destinations relatively close by, including Newfound Lake 6.5 miles to the southeast and Plymouth, NH 15 miles to the east, home of Plymouth State University.
