Statement from the New Boston Select Board

March 10, 2026 Town Voting Results

March 19, 2026

To the residents of New Boston,

Thank you for coming out to vote on March 10th. There was a very good turnout this year.

The voters have chosen not to approve the proposed operating budget this year. With that said, the Select Board, along with the Town Administrator are working together with the department managers so that we can navigate and work within the default budget.

Over the next few weeks, our mission is to prioritize the critical needs of the town and create a roadmap for this fiscal year.

We are diligently working to find ways to operate effectively and efficiently to minimize any impact on town services for our residents.

Please feel free to reach out to the Town Administrator or any of the Select Board members should there be any questions regarding this matter.

The Tax Collector Office will be CLOSED on Tuesday, March 24, 2026.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The New Boston Select Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Chief James Brace for serving the Town of New Boston for over 14 years.

He has served this community with pride both in and out of uniform, bringing incredible dedication and leadership as New Boston Police Chief. During his 14-year tenure, he served as a constant source of energy, creativity, and commitment to our community. His legacy is in the countless lives he touched and enriched.

Jim put his heart and soul into this position and his other endeavors for the town including serving as Interim Town Administrator and as Chair of many town committees over the years.

He brought the Police Department to what it is today. We would also like to recognize and thank him for spending hundreds of hours of his own time bringing the police station renovation to a close. Without his perseverance and diligence, the renovation would not have happened.

As he embarks on this new and well-deserved chapter of retirement, we wish him joy, adventure, and relaxation. His contributions will not be forgotten.

NEW BOSTON, NH — The New Boston Select Board is proud to announce the promotion of Lieutenant Stephen Case to the rank of New Boston Police Chief.

Chief Case has been a dedicated member of the New Boston Police Department for over a decade, originally joining the force on June 1, 2013. During his tenure, he has steadily risen through the ranks while proudly and dutifully serving the community. He achieved the rank of Senior Patrolman in 2016, was promoted to Sergeant in 2018, and reached the rank of Lieutenant in early 2024.

Throughout his years of service, Chief Case has worn many hats within the department, serving in vital roles such as Prosecutor, Field Training Officer, Taser Instructor, D.A.R.E. Officer, and Mountain Bike Officer.

Beyond his law enforcement duties, Chief Case is widely recognized in the community for his active involvement in charity and outreach programs. His efforts have been instrumental in the annual CHaD Battle of the Badges events, which raise funds for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD), as well as The Heroes Cup Baseball games to benefit the Special Olympics New Hampshire (SONH).

“Chief Case is highly deserving of this promotion,” the Select Board stated in a joint release. “We are excited and thankful that he will continue to serve our community with the honor and distinction he has exhibited over the years.”

Swearing-In Ceremony

The New Boston Select Board warmly invites all residents and members of the community to join the Town in the Swearing-In Ceremony of New Boston Police Chief Stephen Case.

• When: Monday, April 6th at 6:30 PM

• Where: Whipple Free Library, New Boston, NH
