Just a week after Vermont's Town Meeting Day, Littleton's fire station parking lot was filled Tuesday as New Hampshire residents took to the polls.

Several contentious articles brought out the voters this year with town officer positions up for grabs, a pending town revaluation, and proposed collective bargaining agreement on the table for municipal workers.

However the biggest draw for voters was whether or not to build a new middle school, and Career Technical Education Center, where taxpayers dollars would only have to pay for a fraction of the project if passed.

School Board Chairman Art Tighte  said, "The funding mechanism is quite unique for this particular round. That's about almost 80% of funding, about 8-point something million dollars that is being given to the town from the state of new Hampshire for the CTC, so the amount of money and the participation from the state level is very large."

Town Moderator Gerald Winn said, "At the end of the deliberative meeting I didn't hear any negative responses when it came time for the vote to place it on the article for today's meeting. Pretty unusual not to have some opposition."

If the article is not passed and authorized by march 31st, the town will miss out on the 80% state funding for the project.

Winn also said, "As a business owner...citizen, it seems like it makes sense financially. It looks like it probably is an opportunity most likely wont' return to the town, at least in the near future."

If it were passed, the town would purchase a home currently sitting on land surrounded on three sides by school property and demolish that along with part of the school itself to make way for a new 36,000 square foot building.
This would be connected to the current high school and house CTC facilities as well as the middle school.
