New Boston Planning Meeting October 20

New Boston will have a meeting this coming Saturday, October 20th, 2012 at the Whipple Library at 67 Mount Vernon Street (Route 13) beginning at 8:30 AM and going to noon to discuss ‘mixed use’. From their background documentation:

While the Planning Board has been researching this matter for months and is familiar with the many possible ways a mixed use district could be enacted, they are committed to getting input and opinion from the people who will be affected by the proposal before beginning a draft ordinance. To this end the Board has set a target to have the mixed use overlay district on the 2014 ballot.

A public input gathering session has been scheduled for Saturday, October 20, 2012, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Whipple Free Library Community Room. Breakfast refreshments will be provided. This session is not intended only for residents of the proposed Mixed Use Overlay District. The Board urges anyone with an interest in New Boston’s future planning to attend. Other public meetings will take place through the fall and winter of 2012.

Following the public input sessions, the Board will be able to prepare a draft ordinance based on the information gathered over the fall and winter. This draft will be publicized and discussed through 2013. The Planning Board is excited to work through this collaborative process and encourages anyone with questions to come to the meetings or to contact the Planning Department for further details: 487-2500 ext. 142 or s.silver@newbostonnh.gov “
