# GOV   Special Board of Aldermen 11 10 2026

The Nashua Board of Aldermen held a special meeting on November 10, 2026, to discuss the Road and Highway Fund and the city’s paving program. The city engineer reported that the 10-year, $75 million paving program began in FY2019, has paved about 181 miles and raised the citywide pavement condition index from 67 to 84. The engineer recommended maintaining paving funding at approximately $4 million annually, shifting more attention toward preventive maintenance. The existing bond program’s final $7.5 million issuance is planned for FY2028, and the presentation identified a funding gap for FY2029 and beyond, including the need to support ongoing debt service and future roadway work.

Officials discussed possible funding approaches, including a motor-vehicle registration fee of up to $5 (estimated to raise about $1 million annually), increasing the city’s motor-vehicle revenue contribution to the fund, or using general-fund appropriations. The presentation noted that the $5 fee alone would not cover the projected need; increasing the contribution to $3 million for five years was discussed as a way to address debt service. Aldermen also raised questions about 15-year bond terms, interest costs, paving costs, sidewalks, and how road conditions are prioritized. No funding, fee, contract, or paving action was approved; the discussion was for input ahead of the budget process. The only motion was to adjourn, which passed unanimously.
