Planning


SRPC GIS planner Rachael Mack often works with communities to complete specific map sets. This week Rachael worked on finalizing tax maps for the Town of Newmarket. The updates, required under RSA 31:95-a, "show the boundary lines of each parcel of land in the city or town. [1]" Rachael completed tax maps for the Town of Farmington in early June. SRPC can be contracted to prepare this type of map, and others, for any of the 18 communities in the Strafford region. Contact Rachael at rmack@strafford.org, or at 603-994-3500, to find out more about the process or for examples of the maps SRPC prepares.
Transportation

The Partnering for Performance New Hampshire (PFPNH) team of Rachel Dewey and Nancy O'Connor, joined by regional transportation planner Colin Lentz, made a presentation to the Kittery Area Comprehensive Transportation System (KACTS) on Wednesday, July 26. KACTS, which is the metropolitan planning organization for southern Maine, is beginning to implement performance measures in its transportation planning processes. The presentation included an update on the PFPNH project and gave the Strafford MPO staffers the opportunity to share strategies and steps for implementing performance measures.

Economic Development

This week regional economic development planner James Burdin worked to finalize the quarterly report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the Strafford Economic Development District (SEDD) Brownfields program, which began in early 2016. Over the past 18 months SEDD has identified potential hazardous waste sites across the region and worked with Credere Associates to complete assessments of five properties prioritized by the Brownfields Advisory Committee (BAC). Two more properties, in Farmington and Milton, are currently undergoing assessments. For more information on the Brownfields program, contact James at jburdin@strafford.org or at 603-994-3500.
