Economic Development 2018 Vision Statement

In accordance with the Master Plan for North Hampton, the following articulates the vision for economic development.

By 2030 the Town of North Hampton will create a vibrant Village Center such as an overlay on the Industrial, Business, Residential (IBR) district on Lafayette Road from Cedar Road to Hobbs Road.

To achieve this vision, the Town will develop and execute an improvement plan with collaboration among residents, business owners, and property owners.

To implement this plan, the Town will review and adopt necessary revisions of land‐use ordinances and enforcement standards. These revisions will promote commercial development that is consistent with residents’ preferences, as articulated in the 2018 town economic development survey, and the health, safety and general welfare of North Hampton.  North Hampton’s Village Center will provide an environment that:

 Effectively manages access among and between developed properties,

 Is more aesthetically pleasing with functional landscaping for residents and visitors,

 Offers safe and efficient travel options for pedestrians and motorists,

 Supports commercial success of locally oriented businesses and,

 Attracts destination businesses offering goods and services as desired by residents and attractive to visitors.
