WINDHAM - Margaret Pinchbeck bought a house on Hall Road with a plan to build a greenhouse on the land, but she hasn't had the money to start the business and has been renting out the house instead. She recently found out that merely owning the property could cost her more than $10,500, because part of it lies along a stretch of Route 302 that makes it subject to a fee to help pay for a proposed $37.8 million sewer system she says she wouldn't even use.
WINDHAM – Windham residents reacted strongly at Tuesday night’s public hearing on the proposed sewer project, with several saying the multi-million dollar project’s taxes and fees would be difficult to pay for those already struggling to make ends meet.
