Portsmouth is certainly not the first community to have to look at these decisions. Here are links to follow and download .pdfs for more information on just some of the many studies done in the area. We’ve also included a link to Portsmouth’s own Design Review Guidelines.

Preserve Portsmouth is a group of Portsmouth, RI residents concerned about responsible growth and development in our town.
Our primary concern at this time is the proposed development of the land on the north east corner of West Main Road and Union Street for a Target store.
We are having community meetings and trying to develop an email list of people who wish to become involved or simply to keep up with this situation and our group’s efforts.
If you’d like to be on our email list please send an email to us at Info@PreservePortsmouth.org with your email address and request.
Please also put our email address in your “allow” list so the email we send to you will get through.
