Former Town Manager, Kevin Smith addresses the Town Council, sharing a historical perspective on Londonderry’s population growth, which he argues has been far higher in previous decades than it is currently. Smith highlights significant growth spurred by factors like the completion of I-93 and discusses measures the town took to manage rapid expansion in the past. Smith expresses concern that the current slow growth rate, the lowest since the 1920s, combined with a declining school population and the inability of young people to afford housing, poses challenges for the town’s future, particularly impacting seniors through rising taxes.
During his presentations Smith did not disclose he is now a consultant for a number of developers in town.
There’s a big surprise. Seems like his paycheck is tied to the growth in town.
