 | | Among these towns West Newbury ranks as follows: population, 13; per capita income, 3; equalized value per capita, 6; land area, 44 (meaning it is the smallest in the group); miles of road, 33; operating budget, 12; and total parcels, 19. |
 | | The difference: West Newbury is clearly in the midst of a growth period, with subdivision approvals and new-home construction proceeding at a super-normal pace for a rural town. |
 | | If West Newbury were to decommission the John C. Page School and replace it with a new, larger elementary school, the Town may want to seek feasibility study and construction funds from DHCD in order to convert the school to elderly housing, which has been done in many communities across the state. |
