2014 NHPA Conference - June 5 & 6 

Please join us for the 2014 NH Planners Association Annual Conference "The Art of Placemaking" on the University of New Hampshire campus June 5 and 6. Conference registration is $160 for NHPA members. This year's conference will explore a diverse range of topics including complete streets, mill redevelopment, landscape architecture, the state's booming microbrewery industry, the challenges of permitting new development in historic districts, the rise of the citizen planner, and the association of walkable communities to social capital, among others. Participants will learn how the state's changing demographics are influencing its housing market and also pick up strategies to help avoid heartracing moments during public meetings. We hope you can join us.
