Ossipee’s Controversial Built-Out Survey Resurfaces
Ossipee’s simmering feud over a proposed land planning study shows no sign of abating.

Citing the importance of water quality in the lake, Conservation Commission chair Ron Adams reminds Morgan that “Fifty-two percent of the town’s taxes are raised from lakeshore properties.”
