ROCKINGHAM — With an $800,000 shortfall in the town budget last fall, town officials say they will likely have to cut administrative positions to cope.
The announcement came from Selectboard chair Tom MacPhee, who stated the cuts would save the town $160,000.
Public Works Director Everett Hammond, Administrative Assistant Joanne Perry, and Town Hall Custodian Diana Brough face layoffs, and the town will not fill an open maintenance position in the highway department.
In addition, the Selectboard anticipates a 10-percent cut in requests submitted by social services.
The village of Bellows Falls does not share in costs associated with either the public works director or administrative assistant position.
