What's Going To Happen to Barnstead

The largest employer in Barnstead has announced it's going to close this summer.

When the Timco lumber company shuts down, some 100 people will lose their jobs.

The town's population is less than three thousand.

David Murley chairs Barnstead's planning board.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis the news wasn't completely unexpected, but it's going to hurt all the same.
