Grantham updates municipal calendar with meetings, agendas and Zoom access

The Town of Grantham has refreshed its municipal calendar to list upcoming board and committee meeting dates, agenda links and minutes, and to provide the public with meeting access information, including Zoom where applicable. The calendar was last updated on 2026-01-29, offering residents a centralized way to track government business and community events as the town approaches its March election season.

The calendar confirms the regular schedule for the Board of Selectmen: "The Board of Selectmen meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month at 5pm in the Jerry Whitney Memorial Conference Room, Grantham Town Building, 300 Route 10 South, unless otherwise posted." Meetings take place in the Jerry Whitney Memorial Conference Room at Grantham Town Hall, and the site indicates agenda links and an archive of minutes by year. The minutes headings explicitly run from 2009 through 2026, with year headings for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The calendar also includes a "Non-Public Meeting List" heading, though specific non-public meeting entries are not detailed on the calendar summary.

Municipal operations and voter services are also highlighted. The Town Clerk/Tax Collector's Office handles motor vehicle and boat registrations, dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, OHRV registrations, vital records requests, and property tax billing and payments, and serves as the town's election information source. The calendar reproduces an operational advisory: "PLEASE NOTE: Given that the town clerk works alone on Mondays, the office is closed for 15 minutes in mid-afternoon to run errands at the bank and post office. However, the exact time changes from week to week, depending on the volume of counter traffic on any given Monday. If you are needing to get in and out quickly, PLEASE call ahead (603-863-5608) to make sure the clerk is present at the time you'll be coming down." The Town Clerk contact listed is Penny Palmer, Deputy Town Clerk/Tax Collector, reachable at (603) 863-5608 and TCTC@GranthamNH.gov. Regular office hours are Monday-Thursday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm and Friday 8:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 - 4:00 pm, with the calendar advising: "Please check the Grantham Municipal Calendar for changes to our regular hours."

The municipal calendar also aggregates community event listings, drawn from regional event postings. Items include Winter Carnival Merchandise Sales at Dartmouth College (Thursday at 8:00 AM), Pork Tenderloin: The Filet Mignon of Pork on Tue, Feb 10 at 5:30 PM at Coop Food Store, Lebanon (status listed as "Going fast"), Paper Flower Bouquets - A Hello Spring Workshop on Sat, Feb 14 at 1:00 PM at Riddle Hill Homestead, The Art & Science of Peer Assisted Recovery on Fri, Feb 20 at 9:00 AM at 57 Main St (status "Almost full"), among others. Several listings appear duplicated in the calendar feed, and price details are left to the event pages with the recurring line "Check ticket price on event."

For voters, the calendar posts the 2026 Town Election details: "2026 Town Election-Tuesday, March 10, 2026" at 300 Route 10 South (Town Hall), Lower Level, with polls open 10:00 am - 7:00 pm. Residents preparing to vote or engage in town business should verify posted agendas, meeting times and remote access instructions ahead of meetings and the election. The municipal site also offers "Contact Us", "Subscribe to Grantham’s E-News" and "Online Services" prompts for ongoing updates.

The update improves transparency by consolidating schedules and an archival trail of minutes, but residents should confirm meeting agendas and remote access links before attending. Verify meeting materials and the Clerk's availability by calling (603) 863-5608 or using the town's event and subscription features so civic participation is not derailed by changing hours or last-minute schedule shifts.
