Dan Nichols has withdrawn from the race for Town Council. There is a local referendum question asking voters to authorize the Town of Gorham to borrow up to $5,900,000 to finance the cost of 141 acres of vacant land for development into an industrial park. There are also two referendum questions on the state ballot.

The polls will be open on November 5 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling places in Gorham are: Ward 1-1 at Gorham Middle School, Ward 1-2 at Little Falls Activity Center on Acorn Street, and Ward 2 at Shaw Gym. If you are unaware of where to vote, call the Town Clerk’s office at 222-1670.
