The Brookfield NH Selectmen meeting on October 29, 2024, focused on the town's budget for road maintenance and paving. Key discussions centered around the proposed allocation of funds for asphalt maintenance and specific road projects for the upcoming year.

The Selectmen reviewed the asphalt maintenance budget for 2024, which is set at $150,000. There was a consensus on the importance of maintaining this funding level to ensure basic upkeep of the town's roads. The discussion highlighted the need for ongoing maintenance rather than larger projects, emphasizing the necessity of resurfacing and addressing deteriorating road conditions.

One specific project mentioned was the reclamation of a section of Goose Mountain Bridal, estimated to cost around $75,000. This project is crucial as the current condition of that road segment does not allow for simple resurfacing. The Selectmen acknowledged that while significant paving work has been completed in recent years, there is still much to be done to reach satisfactory road conditions.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's commitment to maintaining its infrastructure and the ongoing challenges of managing road repairs within budget constraints. The Selectmen will continue to evaluate funding needs as they prepare for the 2025 budget discussions.
