Mission

PLAN NH, FOUNDED IN 1989, HAS A MISSION TO FOSTER EXCELLENCE IN THE PLANNING, DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S BUILT ENVIRONMENT. OUR MEMBERSHIP IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP OF ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, PLANNERS, BUILDERS AND REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS, FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE FIRMS, AND OTHERS WITH AN INTEREST IN HOW, WHAT, AND WHERE WE BUILD, AND THE IMPACT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT HAS ON OUR DAILY LIVES. SEVERAL NEW HAMPSHIRE TOWNS, CITIES, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO MEMBERS. PLAN NH HAS A VISION OF VIBRANT COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE; COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY VIBRANT, IN WHICH: OUR CHANGING CONTEXT IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION DURING PLANNING AND RELATED DECISIONS; COMMUNITIES BALANCE NECESSARY GROWTH WITH PRESERVING THEIR UNIQUE SENSE OF PLACE; COMPACT, MIXED-USE AREAS ARE ENCOURAGED; THERE ARE REASONABLE, AFFORDABLE CHOICES FOR WHERE TO LIVE AND HOW TO GET ABOUT; WE ARE STEWARDS OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND HISTORIC ASSETS;
