Todd Selig, Town Manager of Durham, NH is just as concerned as we are and has penned this op-ed which appeared in Foster’s on March 10, 2025
Selig: Proposed NH zoning law changes put community character at risk
Excerpt:
“Local zoning serves several vital functions. It helps ensure that development doesn’t outpace infrastructure capacity, preventing strain on roads, water systems, and schools. Zoning safeguards sensitive ecological areas and preserves open spaces for wildlife habitat and public enjoyment. It’s the judicious hand guiding the growth of our towns, ensuring that the New Hampshire we love, and that tourists pay to visit, remains recognizable to future generations.”
