Plan NH Town Center Study Area Design Charrette

The Town of Hampton has partnered with Plan NH to help facilitate a community conversation focusing on creating a vision for our Town Center Study Area. A charrette is a lively brainstorming session where a team of professionals from Plan NH come together with residents and stakeholders. The recommendations generated from these conversations will help guide the revitalization of our Town Center Study Area. This is your chance to have a say in the direction.
