In the coming months, SRPC staffers will continue to work with a number of communities on select master plan chapters. Principal regional planner Kyle Pimental has been assisting the City of Dover with its climate adaptation chapter and with preparations for two public workshops on the City's goals and recommendations slated to take place in October. 

James Burdin, economic development planner, and Rachael Mack, GIS planner, have been working with the Town of Durham to draft its master plan chapter on future land use.  Residents offered comments at a community forum in May that will be used in the preparation of the master plan.

The Town of Barrington has continued to utilize SRPC's services to work on its economic development chapter, after the completion of the adopted Vision chapter in July. James Burdin will meet with Barrington's town planner on Wednesday to discuss scope and process for the project, including the formation of a subcommittee to work the chapter.

Transportation

SRPC GIS planner Rachael Mack recently mapped NHDOT's crash data for the SRPC region. The map contains additional information to help users view and use the data effectively.
 
Regional transportation planner Colin Lentz will reach out to communities about Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grants over the coming months, and the map and data will help communities identify locations eligible for grants. HSIP "is a core Federal-aid program with the purpose to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned roads and roads on tribal land. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety on all public roads with a focus on performance [1]   ."
