Next Town Council meeting is Monday February 4th at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Council Chamber’s.
WE NEED YOU THERE!!
We are asking our Town Council, the folks that “we” elected to implement a 35,000 square foot retail buiding size cap.
What this means is that no single use retailer shall be larger than 35,000 square feet.
We all know that Portsmouth as well as other communities need to increase their commercial tax bases. What we’ve learned is that this type of commercial business, large retail, puts other small businesses out. It’s rarely a net gain in jobs or tax revenues,because extra services are needed.
Please feel free to contact Preserve Portsmouth if you’d like to discuss this further.
The current building moratorium is extended until March 1, 2008.
Please stay abreast of developments on this and how you can help.
