Plan NH Plan NH is the link between the built environment and social, economic and environmental health and vibrancy of the community

We believe that what we build, where we build and how we build has a direct impact on the social, economic and environmental characteristics of a community. We want that impact to be positive. In this new world we live in, we need to think differently as we plan for our future. Instead of problems, let's look at opportunities.

This past Friday and Saturday, Plan NH partnered with the Town of Greenland and the Winnicut River Project to bring community members and built-environment professionals together to imagine new possibilities for Greenlandโ€™s future.

From exploring opportunities along Route 33 and the Bayside and Winnicut intersections to considering improvements at Rolston Park, the charrette created space for fresh ideas, creative problem-solving, and community visioning.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered their time and expertise. Weโ€™re excited to see how these ideas can help inform Greenlandโ€™s future!

Exciting News: The Plymouth Charrette Report is here!

This spring, Plan NH was invited to Plymouth NH to bring together community members and volunteer professionals in imagining whatโ€™s next for the Depot Street/Railroad Square area of Plymouth.

The new report shares ideas and recommendations for strengthening connections, creating places to gather, supporting recreation and housing, and building a stronger sense of place. Sarah Wrightsman of NH Housing was on the team and recently shared her reflections on the charrette and the power of community-driven planning.
