Thursday, October 26th, 1-6pm
Friday, October 27th, 8am-3pm
Rivermill at Dover Landing, 2 Washington Street, Dover
When we think of fostering economic growth and development, we often think of tax breaks and other incentives. What about the community itself - what kind of quality of life does it offer? What are the characteristics that support and can foster growth and vitality? Remember, it's people who decide where to go (not businesses!) - what might they be looking for?
Plan NH will host a two-day conference to raise awareness
of the impact of community design and our built envrionment on economic growth and development.
