What is it?
merrimacknh.org was registered and populated with a template back in 2004
with the intent to demonstrate the feasibility of providing an independant
portal of web and community resources to the residents (current, past
and future) of Merrimack.
The site traffic averaged over 7000 hits a month in
2008.
Is it run by the Town?
No. The Town, School District, MVD, BOS, School Board, MYA, Lions,
Chamber of Commerce,
or any other organization, board or government body is not part of
the content of this site.
Who owns it?
Brian McCarthy, a resident of Merrimack and current member of the Town
Council (elected
2008)
maintains the site and pays for the site hosting, along with the
cost of the domain name.

Why are most of the links blank?
Although the site had some grand plans, the work was put on hold.
Those plans included items such as central location for school, town,
water district email lists, and portals for all the items you see listed
on the main page.
Where is the charter commission website?
You will find the Merrimack Charter Commission website at
http://charter.merrimacknh.org.
Note that the Charter Commission has done its job and it may have outdated
links. Please check the Town Website for up to date information.
Why is the Charter Commission web presence here?
The owner of merrimacknh.org knew the charter commission would want to
make use of the web in a way that the Town website would not allow at
this time. The sub-domain of charter.merrimacknh.org was created to
allow the Commission to meet that goal.
The Weather Link?
There are several online weather sites to choose from, I
picked
Intellicast.
If you know of a better one, let me know.
Google for the map?
I enjoy the features that
Google provides
and seems to be enhancing. The other choice I had was an old Town Zoning
map, I think Google does a better job.
