📰 News we're reading

1. Listening Session Hears Ideas to Preserve Morrison House (londonderrytimes.net) — Londonderry officials and residents are weighing whether to save, mothball, or even demolish the closed Reverend Morrison Meeting House, also known as Lions Hall, after voters rejected a $3.3 million repair plan in March. At an April 27 listening session, residents pushed ideas from grants and partial restorations to creative reuse, urging continued meetings as the Town Council prepares to decide the building’s fate.    

2. Leach Library Will Remain Closed Through Summer (londonderrytimes.net) — Londonderry’s Leach Library is expected to stay closed to the public through the summer as crews tackle extensive mold, water, and roof damage that has driven repair costs far higher than first projected. Town officials have approved significant extra funding and are weighing further preventive work, while trustees prepare additional presentations to the Town Council and hold special meetings on next steps.    

3. AGC of New Hampshire Recognizes Industry Excellence at 2026 Awards Night (high-profile.com) — A Londonderry project, The Baldwin senior living community, earned Metro Walls the Gold Award for Subcontractor Project at AGC of New Hampshire’s 2026 Awards Night. The statewide event in Manchester spotlighted standout construction work from Nashua to Dover, but singled out the Baldwin as a leading example of innovative, high-quality building in southern New Hampshire.    

4. Hassan discusses workforce, tariff issues at Milton CAT facility (wmur.com) — A major employer in Londonderry, the Milton CAT facility, hosted U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan to talk about worker shortages and how federal tariffs are affecting equipment distributors. Company and industry leaders described strong demand but a need for more skilled technicians, while Hassan said she’s pushing to ensure tariff refunds actually reach affected businesses and customers.    

5. Stolen gift cards fuel Apple device smuggling in NH (vnews.com) — A sprawling stolen-gift-card scheme is using New Hampshire warehouses, including one in Londonderry, to repackage and export millions of dollars in Apple devices. Authorities say the tax-free state has become a hub for this international operation, which has drawn violent robberies, a fatal stabbing in Derry, and a string of ongoing prosecutions.
