SUMNER — Selectmen on Tuesday voted to allow ATV riders to temporarily use DeCoster, Rosenberg and Barrows roads until the next annual town meeting in August 2015.
Dana Stevens of the Black Mountain ATV Club asked the board for permission and said it would open two more loop trails. He said it would be good for the town and the economy.
Signs will be posted before the trails are used, he said.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Kelly Stewart said the information would be put on the town website.
