Townsend Town Meeting 3-May-2011 7:00 PM at Memorial HallClick Here for the Town Meeting Information, Warrants and Budgets
Summer Band concerts on the common, fairs and bazaars, church suppers, a
colorful Board of Selectmen, entertaining Town Meetings, good schools, great
people and so much conservation land, it could hold a whole community - these
are some of the attributes that make Townsend a great place to live, work and
raise children. Rich in history, Townsend is a flourishing hub of Antiques
shops. The Squannacook River, a premier cold water fishery, meanders its way through
town, and there are many
opportunities for recreation, or just to enjoy the peace and beauty of this
languid waterway.
Situated at the junction of Routes 119 and 13, with rural New Hampshire
bordering us to the North, Lunenburg and Fitchburg to the South, Ashby on the
West side, and Groton and Pepperell to the East, Townsend is uniquely placed
between the rural and the suburban, and has characteristics of both. A strong
independent streak characterizes many of our citizens, and the town
is quite egalitarian. Growth is controlled by well thought out bylaws, standard zoning is 2 or 3 acres
minimum per lot, Town Water in some locations, no Town
Sewer. Good access to Routes 2, 495, 101 and the commuter rail, so you can get
to where you need to go. And if that's not enough, there are always the
Atwood Cuties....
