The Town commenced construction on a new 9,040sf Public Works Facility at 149 Hurricane Road in 1999.
It was completed in 2000 and the former Public Works Garage on Sargent Street was vacated and subsequently demolished.
In 2003 a 4,000sf enclosed salt shed was constructed. This project provided extra protection to the water quality of the underlying stratified drift aquifer.
In 2003 Alan Bartlett with an investment of more than 250 hours constructed the Veterans' Memorial adjacent to the Mill as an Eagle Scout project and in 2004 achieved the Rank of Eagle Scout.
2010 The 2010 PlanNH Charrette identified the Memorial as a cornerstone of the Village core revitalization.
Relocation of the Park would provide a more prominent and permanent placement.
