Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward
The Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission (SNHPC) will be working with the communities in our region to look at the big picture and consider the impacts of land use and transportation on our economic development, our health, our costs and our natural and cultural resources. This project will culminate with a shared vision for New Hampshire's future- how we can improve our communities, regions, and the State. This vision will be outlined in our regional comprehensive plan.

At the heart of all of this will be community participation, through an open and transparent planning process where we can ask ourselves questions such as... How can we:

Protect New Hampshire's unique beauty and character?
Wisely invest limited financial resources?
Keep the city in the city and the country in the country?
Increase economic opportunities?
Create safe places to live?
Conserve our natural and social resources?

A Granite State Future and Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward will be the product of the people of New Hampshire to identify shared interests and direct the use of limited government resources. By supporting localy identified needs and ensuring that local land use decisions remain local, each regional plan will build on its communities' own unique attributes to acheive economic vitality, and protect the natural resources, character and landscapes that are so important to New Hampshire.

Get Involved
We are committed to the idea that the best public decisions get made if the people who will be affected by those decisions are heard and involved in the decision-making process. We would love to hear from you! Our public outreach program includes many different ways for you to be involved with this project. Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.

The Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward Leadership Team meets on a quarterly basis. All are invited to come participate in the discussion. The Public Outreach and Engagement Subcommittee meets monthly and welcomes any input you might have. Please join us for our next meeting! Agendas and minutes for these meetings can be found on the right-hand side of this page.

In addition to our program meetings, we will be attending meetings of groups and organizations that have an interest in our project. For information on the next neighborhood conversation meeting, please contact us.

You may see us out and about at public events where we hope to reach our communities about this project. Summaries from past events and notices of upcoming events can be found here on the right side of this page.

Stay tuned for further information on public outreach and engagement in the Southern New Hampshire Region. We are continuously working on new ideas to gather input and to get everyone involved.

In addition, you can always give us your input online using the "Add Your Ideas" online survey.

We look forward to hearing from you!
