Lebanon to Vote on Refugee Resettlement

Officials from Lebanon, NH are set to discuss refugee resettlement within the city, reports NBC 5.

Lebanon’s vote stems from President Donald Trump’s September Executive Order requiring state and local governments to give consent to receiving refugees. Governor Chris Sununu gave his blessing to refugees in November. Lebanon city officials will vote, however they state it will mostly be symbolic, as refugees are likelier to settle in larger NH cities.

The vote is expected to happen at the City Council meeting on Wednesday at 7 PM.
