Check Out the 2023 Fall Conference Resources
On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, Plan NH hosted our fall conference, Unlocking Possibilities: Community Change for the Better, at The Hotel Concord in Concord, NH.
The program focused on how the built environment can meet critical community needs of today and support community vibrancy. From housing and workforce to childcare and community connectivity, our speakers explored innovative approaches to tackling these crucial issues in New Hampshire. Richard Amore from the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development was our keynote and we had a wonderful lineup of speakers who presented throughout the morning.
