Community Outreach
In the summer of 2024, the Londonderry Planning Board initiated the process of updating the
Town’s Master Plan. To support this effort, a Steering Committee was established, with
assistance from staff at the Southern NH Planning Commission. Early in its formation, the
Steering Committee developed a set of Guiding Principles focused on trust, accountability,
transparent communication, inclusive outreach, flexibility, and respect. The Committee
emphasized the importance of ensuring public involvement through a variety of engagement
methods, including meeting people where they are. To achieve this, a comprehensive outreach
strategy was implemented, featuring in-person informational events, social media and website
links, informational displays at key town facilities, and meetings designed to encourage public
participation.
The survey data collected serves several purposes: it offers initial insights into the community’s
diverse perspectives on current issues, concerns, and opportunities, while also identifying areas
that may require further community discussion. The findings will be integrated with other
feedback to inform the development of various chapters, including land use, housing, regional
assets and concerns, and the overarching vision for Londonderry. The following survey
summary provides an overview of participant demographics, their aspirations for the town, and
their concerns.
