A big proposal for the historic Hobbs Farm is moving along with unanimous praise from town officials and residents.
The North Hampton Planning Board gave a preliminary green light to Throwback Brewery's new "brew farm" this week, as members unanimously accepted the plan and waived a sign limit in order to allow the business to continue its quest to return Hobbs Farm to a working farmstead. The only thing remaining before Throwback can begin work on transforming the barn at Hobbs Farm into a tasting room, brewery and event center is the approval of the site plan, which will likely come during the planning board's next meeting on June 4 after members and residents expressed strong support for the project Tuesday.

Cuts and new policies are on the horizon as Hampton officials work to correct problems and inefficiencies.
The town of Hampton will likely soon conduct a three-week trial period for a new residential recycling and trash collection policy in the hopes of determining whether several cost-saving and efficiency-maximizing changes will improve a program that currently has confusing pickups and fairness issues. Hampton Public Works Director Keith Noyes outlined Monday a seven-point plan for the trial changes, which include no longer having collections on Fridays. If Hampton selectmen approve the plan during their next meeting on May 6 or during a future meeting, the changes would kick in on May 27 and end right before the start of the more-intensive summer collection schedule on June 17, according to Noyes.
