Weather forecast:
• Subject of Merrimack manhunt arrested in Manchester was wanted in Nashua hit-and-run (inklink.news) — Police from Merrimack, Nashua, Manchester, and U.S. Marshals tracked a Merrimack resident wanted in a serious Nashua hit-and-run, after a tense manhunt that began near the Home Depot on Mallard Lane. Officers used drones and a large ground search before arresting the suspect in Manchester on May 12, and Nashua police are still asking anyone with information to contact their crime line.
• Drought Raises the Stakes of New Hampshire's Relationship to Fire (goodmenproject.com) — A New Hampshire-raised wildfire expert explains how worsening drought is reshaping the state’s relationship with forest fires and why better prevention and controlled burns may be needed. Merrimack gets a nod through Angela Graves, who grew up there and is pursuing a state-backed pilot using mushrooms to help clean PFAS contamination at the former Saint-Gobain plant, underscoring local innovation amid broader climate challenges.
• Boston Mayor Supports Fidelity's Return-to-Office Mandate (rock929rocks.com) — Fidelity Investments, which operates a major office in Merrimack, is pushing employees back to the office five days a week nationwide, a move Boston’s mayor is publicly backing as good for downtown economies. While the discussion centers on Boston, Merrimack workers may feel similar pressure as the company leans harder into in-person work at its various sites.
