In Nashua last year, a group of residents gathered around maps and sketches, imagining how their downtown could grow while staying vibrant and walkable. Across the state in Hampton, neighbors and local leaders explored creative ideas for housing and public spaces, collaborating side by side to envision a stronger community. These moments are at the heart of what Plan NH does: bringing people together, sparking conversation, and turning ideas into action. Thanks to partnerships like the InvestNH Housing Opportunity Planning (HOP) Grant Program, we were able to offer these no-cost Community Design Charrettes to communities throughout 2025.
Our 2025 Impact Report captures these stories and more, highlighting the people, projects, and partnerships that made a difference across New Hampshire. From downtown revitalizations to housing solutions, the report shows how thoughtful planning and design can transform communities. We invite you to explore the full report, celebrate what we accomplished together, and see the real impact of collaboration in action.
We’re also excited to announce the unveiling of Plan NH’s new mascot, Planny the Panda! (Ok, fine… April Fools!)
