In a press release crafted after the Town Caucus turned up no candidates, the Town Clerk’s Office reminded residents that nomination papers are still available to any Concord voter who wishes to run for the five-year position on the Concord Housing Authority -- or any other elected office.  

"Since no candidates were nominated at the Jan. 27 Caucus for this position, interested individuals would need to complete and file Nomination Papers in order for their name to appear on the March 25 ballot," the press release said.
