On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Plan NH hosted our fall conference, Built to Last: Reducing Impact, Maximizing Performance, at The Hotel Concord in Concord, NH.
The morning’s program provided a detailed look at sustainable practices in the built environment, from high-level strategies to specific technical applications. Our keynote speaker, Nancy E. Smith, gave the audience an in-depth look at Smart Growth policy and practice in Maine, followed by a lineup of professional subject matter experts who discussed topics like deconstruction, building materials reuse and recycling, waste management, energy efficiency, and solar applications in New Hampshire.
