DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H.—There's a new buyer for the New Hampshire resort where the first-in-the-nation presidential primary ballots have been cast for 50 years.

The Tillotson Corp. board of directors said Monday that a consortium of three investors from Maine has offered to buy the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in Dixville Notch.

The 7,700-acre resort was planning to close for the season on Sept. 15. The group's plan is to keep it closed for nine months to do $12 million in renovations, then reopen next summer.

A previous offer from a New Hampshire company fell through last month.

The 150-year-old hotel has been owned by the Tillotson family since 1954.

Neil Tillotson had Dixville Notch incorporated solely for voting purposes and arranged for ballots to be cast just after midnight on primary day.
