Have a say in our future!

How are transportation, housing issues and economic development affecting southeastern New Hampshire for the better or worse? What about how we use the land and natural resources, protect historic and cultural resources, or deal with climate change and energy?

Over the next two months, Rockingham Planning Commission (RPC) is hosting a series of regional conversations to gather public feedback on local needs and priorities related to a range of topics that impact our region. The input will help shape the update of RPC’s regional master plan, an advisory document that provides a vision and a set of goals to support local decision-making, enhance regional cooperation, and help guide the region’s future development.

All community members are encouraged to attend one or more of the regional conversations listed below.
