Description
9.9.2022 Economic Development Committee
A
Great
all
right
good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
september
9th
meeting
of
the.
A
Economic
development
commission,
as
you
can
see,
I
guess
we'll
kick
things
off.
A
A
Great
all
right
thanks
everybody,
so
the
first
up
on
our
agenda
is
an
update
from
the
business.
A
Retention
and
expansion
team-
I
know
we
talked
last
month
about
process
and
launching
so
you
guys.
C
Update
as
we
spoke
about
the
last
meeting,
the
sbdc
survey
resiliency
survey
launched
this
week.
C
C
C
D
D
They've
been
vetted
to
a
certain
degree
to
a
certain
degree.
They
were
we
started
with
about.
C
C
C
It
was,
it
was
current
as
of
let's
say
april
of
of
this
year.
I
requested
it
when
I
came
in.
C
And
I've
had
it
and
this
will
be
an
annual
survey,
so
people
if
we
miss
someone.
C
C
E
E
E
It's
really
building
a
relationship
between
the
city
and
the
businesses
that
are
in
the
city.
A
F
Discussing
some
red
lines
for
the
the
adu
process,
public
comment
was
really
around
making
sure.
F
That
anything
that
is
permitted
is
in
keeping
with
character.
So
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
around.
F
Changes
at
the
land
use
level
and
I
think
the
main
goal
is
to
balance
sort
of
right
of
adus.
If.
F
Designing
sort
of
what
constitutes
an
adu
from
a
scale
and
a
size
perspective
related
to.
F
Either
the
size
of
the
lot
or
the
size
of
the
structure
there
so
from
from
an
economic.
F
F
F
G
The
last
since
the
since
the
the
legislation
or
the
you
know,
it's
been
approved
like
three.
H
F
The
process
is
transparent
and
easy
enough
to
follow
such
that
homeowners
are
able
to
apply
for.
F
Or
to
to
represent
it,
so
that
might
be
one
of
the
other
limiters
as
far
as
current
applications.
A
F
F
Past
the
the
the
adu
red
lines
and
revisions
that
will
pick
up
some
of
those
other
areas
there.
F
F
A
F
H
H
A
Great
thank
you.
So
next
we've
got
ben
up
with
our
chamber
semi-annual
update,
so
welcome
whatever.
I
What
we've
been
up
to
and
what
we're
hearing
in
the
business
community
and
a
little
update
on.
I
Having
actual
data
on
tourism
and
visitation
where
people
are
coming
from,
is
it's
really
not
an.
I
Easy
task,
it's
it's
it's
a
very
expensive
data
to
get
and
and
our
hotel
partners
are,
are
not.
I
I
Way,
just
you
know,
throw
something
at
me
so
going
to
the
second
slide
here
we
have.
I
Of
affordable
housing
and
drawing
attention
to
the
need
for
that
and
diversity.
It's
a
really.
I
I
Some
great
educational
programs
in
the
four
programs
in
the
in
the
springtime
we
have.
I
I
I
And
we
can
keep
going.
We
are
excited
to
share
that
after
a
few
years
of
a
pause
due.
I
To
some
covet
and
then
just
transition
both
here
at
the
city
and
that
in
at
the
chamber
and.
I
At
great
bay
community
college
there's
a
lot
of
transition
going
on
that
we
are
bringing
back.
I
The
manufacturers
roundtable
it's
a
great
partnership
between
great
bay,
the
city
and
us.
I
I
Forward
so
great
to
get
that
group
together
and
and
and
connecting
again,
we
also
you
can.
I
Go
right
ahead,
we
have
seen-
I
think
I
mentioned
before,
that
the
young
professionals
organization.
I
I
I
That
I
think
it's
very
important
to
support
our
young
professionals.
It's
that
next
generation.
I
I
I
I
Chamber
of
commerce.
Now
it's
in
partnership
with
the
extra
hampton
and
dover
chamber.
I
They
just
had
an
event
last
night
at
portsmouth
feed
company.
It's
it's
really
turning
into.
I
Something
great
the
tend
to
watch
program
if
you're
familiar
with
that
that
recognizes.
I
Seacoast
online,
that
program
is
launching
now
they're,
I
believe,
accepting
nominations.
I
Now
so
if
you
know
good
young
professionals,
I
don't
know
maybe
a
mayor,
maybe
an
assistant
mayor.
I
That
are
worthy
of
recognition.
We
might
want
to
get
those
names
in
there
as
soon
as
possible.
I
Continuing
our
public
policy
committee
is
is
starting
to
meet
again
took
the
summer
off.
I
I
What
they
do
some
of
those
businesses
it's
hard
for
them
to
host
one
of
our
events,
just.
I
Trying
to
connect
them
to
workforce
opportunities.
One
thing
I
failed
to
put
in
here
that
I
think.
I
Is
important,
is
we
have
a
new
program,
that's
launching
here
in
about
a
month
or
so.
I
I
I
I
I
I
And
I'm
going
to
show
some
data
that
will
kind
of
demonstrate
that
for
tourism
in
our
community.
I
I
Pandemic
mode
has
been
the
desire
for
a
more
smaller
community
to
visit
walkable
community.
I
I
I
But
it's
website
traffic
has
continued
to
be
very
strong
for
us.
I
I
did
want
to
note
that.
I
The
the
stats
underneath
the
the
go
explorer
go.
Do
that's
the
percentage
of
traffic
that
go.
I
I
That
15
of
people
go
and
look
for
something
to
do.
22
percent
highest
percent
are
looking
for.
I
Places
to
eat
and
drink.
So
that's
what
people
are
looking
for
on
on
that
site:
the
go
out
that
10.
I
I
Partnered
with
the
city
on
that
campaign
ran
through
the
spring
and
into
early
summer.
I
That
was
a
really
successful
campaign.
The
there's
been
a
final
report
drafted
of
that
that's
in.
I
A
review
stage
right
now
and
and
is
going
to
that
nonprofit
arts
and
nonprofit
committee.
I
In
that
stage,
one
thing
I
did
want
to
just
note
interesting
web
stats,
as
I
was
looking
at
this-
is.
I
I
Skewing
more
female
in
in
traffic,
but
the
age
dropped
in
ours
and
and
went
just.
I
I
H
We
read
on
the
slide
because
this,
what
does
that
say?
It
says
oh
important
stuff
in
the
first.
I
I
So
tremendous
jump
in
web
traffic
this
year.
I
think
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we.
I
I
I
I
There
was
a
big
jump
time
of
time
on
site
was
also
up
about
18
from
this
year
versus
last
year,
so.
I
Great
great
stats
for
us,
the
negative
stat,
not
a
huge
number,
but
the
bounce
rate
was
up.
I
Really
good
numbers
as
far
as
traffic
goes
and
time
on
site
goes
just
another
next
slide.
I
Shares
a
little
bit
about
what
is
coming
up,
so
we
have
continuing
to
invest
in
our
website.
I
I
If
you
want,
like
a
great
experience,
that's
sort
of
pre-built
for
you
there's
some
of
that
on
there.
I
Wrong
and
all
that,
but
we
are
doing
some
neighborhood
pages
on
the
site.
I
I
I
The
road,
so
you
can
see
2018,
is
that
the
darker
blue
2019
was
also
very
strong.
2020
didn't.
I
Exist
because
we
didn't
open
it
in
2020..
2021
is
the
yellow
line
on
the
bottom
there
and
2022.
I
I
I
I
I
In
portsmouth
and
all
the
cool
places
to
go
so
it's
great
article,
wonderful
little.
I
Publicity
for
those
folks
and
and
just
couldn't
couldn't
have
worked
out
better.
I
So
one
of
the
ways
we
can
track
visitation
and
spending
of
visitors
is
through
the
the
public.
I
Data
that's
available
for
the
rooms
and
meals
tax.
That's
collected,
that's,
and,
and
so
you
can
see.
I
I
Want
everyone
to
see
that
like
this
is
this
is
our
quiet
time
of
year
and
we
still
rockingham.
I
I
We
collected
35.5
million
dollars
in
taxes
in
that
four
month
stretch
in
the
county
and
that.
I
I
I
I
I
I
The
meeting
and
business
kind
of
travel
come
back
right
in
the
meetings
you
know
when
they
came.
I
I
I
Slide
restaurant
week
did
return
in
april
of
2022.
We
had
32
restaurants
participating
that.
I
I
Signups
for
fall
right
now
fall
restaurant
week,
which
will
be
november
3rd
to
the
13th.
I
I
I
I
I
Was
a
really
great
moment
to
have
that
back,
and
my
last
thing
is
just
some
things
coming
up.
I
I
mentioned
restaurant
week
there's
a
we're
trying
something
new
in
how
we
work
with
writers.
I
I
I
I
I
December,
we'll
do
another
media
visit
on
vintage
christmas.
We
are,
I'm
gonna
be
looking
at
some.
I
Talk
soon
because
here
on
this
winter-
and
we
do
have
a
new
tourism
director,
starting
with
us
on.
F
You
know
thus
far
this
year,
yeah
I've
talked
to
quite
a
few
of
them
just
kind
of
popping.
I
I
I
Great
for
the
grass
but
great
for
them,
and
so
they've
been
very
pleased
with
their
sales.
I
J
I
The
outdoor
concerts
at
strawberry
bank
that
they
do
tuesdays
on
the
terrace
have
been.
I
I
I
Was
perfect,
I
think
the
first
time
that's
happened
in
their
history,
so
that
was
great.
That
love
to.
I
I
E
The
arts
again
coming
up
in
the
the
next
season,
yeah
so
as
much
as
we
can
with
a
limited
budget.
I
Of
portsmouth,
I
I
know
that
the
what
was
at
the
time
the
blue
ribbon
committee
for
arts.
I
And
non-profit
is
now
name
changed
did
make
a
request
for
additional
arpa
money
to
to.
I
Potentially
fund
a
two
or
three
year
campaign
with
some
of
that,
I
think
that's
in
the.
I
H
H
H
That's
monday
night
six
o'clock
you're
welcome
to
come
or
zoom
in
and
we'll
take
it
from
there.
A
Sean
curie
says
to
put
your
target
targets
are
for
the
media,
for
these
events
in
the
fall
are.
D
I
Few,
if
you
look
at
even
the
staff
at
locally
at
seacoast
online,
it's
it's
much
smaller
than
it.
I
Used
to
be-
and
so
there
is
some
of
that-
a
lot
of
featured
stories
and
in
print
publications
are.
I
I
Targeted
as
halloween
in
the
halloween
parade
we'll
be
targeting
some
social.
I
Social
media
based
so
a
little
bit
of
everything
and
we
do
work
with
martha
sullivan
who's.
A.
I
D
Canada,
do
you
do
yeah
some?
We,
we
do
travel
to
canada
and
do
press
visits
up
there.
I
I
Data
that
a
colleague
of
mine
from
across
the
state
shared
where
it
did
show
the
return
of.
I
The
canadian
tourist
to
the
market,
and
also
a
lot
of
like
middle
eastern
visitation,
like
we've.
I
From
around
the
world,
so
international
travel
is
definitely
you
know
in
again,
it's
great
to
see.
G
G
G
Right,
you
know
just
curious.
I
I'll
certainly
like
karen,
speak
to
what
the
city
has
in
store.
I
I
You
know
a
couple
years
now
that
it
wasn't.
It
was
too
much
of
a
stress
on
a
very
small
kitchen.
I
I
I
H
There
was
a
request
from
the
council
for
the
planning
department
in
conjunction.
H
H
Was
to
my
understanding
the
only
out
of
town
restauranteur,
who
thought
it
was
exorbitant
and.
H
Spite
for
the
number
or
what
have
you,
but
you
bring
up
a
good
point
somewhere,
better.
H
H
H
G
G
H
F
F
That
ben
has
shared.
We
had
a
great
summer,
we're
doing
well
numbers-wise
and
at
some
point
that
you.
H
F
H
Spaces
at
hanover,
so
we
didn't
see,
see,
pain,
points
and
both
decks
in
the
mcintyre
lot
have.
H
I
H
I
was
told,
and
the
city
the
city,
through
our
parking
fund,
paid
for
the
shuttle
that
transferred.
B
And
make
some
additional
observations
on
the
market.
We
can
email
this
to
anybody
or
sean
can.
B
B
Interest
of
saving
a
few
more
trees
in
the
amazon,
or
it
doesn't
matter
anyway,
so
we'll
we'll.
B
B
Board
in
new
hampshire,
there
are
at
least
two
other
people
in
the
room
that
are
members
of
that.
B
B
B
Ever
needs
a
facility,
they
would
love
to
host
you
for
a
trend
and
they've
got
all
the
technology.
B
B
So
our
research
department,
which
christie
chairs
as
consists
of
a
number
of
communities.
B
Just
to
reiterate
what
we
track-
and
these
are
collier's
criteria
that
we
have
to
abide
by.
We.
B
B
B
K
K
B
Measured
progress
was
located
and
then
those
that
property
was
sold.
There's
a
company
of
peas.
A
B
K
Then,
okay
no
go
ahead
in
the
portsmouth
some
market.
Similarly,
similarly
is
the
john
hancock.
B
Year
and
that's
going
to
continue
to
rise,
in
my
opinion,
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
second
next.
B
Slide
before
we
advance,
I
have
a
question
about
timing,
so
the
sale
of
a
building
is
what
triggers.
H
K
On
if
it's
an
owner
user,
okay,
so
like
the
rochester
one,
the
new
owner
brought
some
new.
K
Tenants
with
them,
I
don't
know
if
it
was
because
of
who
the
former
owner
was
people.
B
We'll
dig
them
out
for
you,
because
it's
kind
of
interesting
to
see
the
next
slide.
Okay,
so.
B
B
K
K
K
B
B
Dollar,
rent,
but
it
is
an
interesting
phenomenon
that,
as
the
vacancy
goes
up,
the
rents
are
going
up.
B
Andy
and
bob
can
weigh
in
in
any
of
this
and
to
david's
point
about
the
changes
in
the
dover.
B
Slide
please
so,
where
are
all
the
businesses
coming
from
to
fill
the
vacancies?
There's
been
a.
B
B
B
Contracting
there's
going
to
be
a
big
chunk
of
space
becoming
available
in
the
dover
facility.
B
B
B
B
B
B
Can
sort
of
replicate
the
early?
You
know
late,
1800s
1900s,
if
you
you
know
manchester
at
all
the.
B
B
I
I
Small,
not
quite
micro
homes,
but
small
homes
in
dover,
that
is
in
the
30s,
is
that
right,
that's.
I
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Q1
of
next
year
so
that
office
space
is
fully
committed.
Then
60
penn
hallows
street.
B
Just
this
is
the
office
building
piece
of
the
project
that
just
got
approved.
Dear
student,
the.
B
My
favorite
topic,
because
this
is
really
where
we're
hurting
in
terms
of
availability
again.
B
The
chart
here
is
is
interesting.
Industrial
vacancy
rate
you
can
see
in
portsmouth
is.
B
The
state-wide
vacancy
rate
has
gone
from
5
in
19
to
3.3
percent
and
the
dover
vacancy
rate.
B
K
K
Biggest
vacancy
in
dover
is
the
121
technology
in
durham.
I
know
it
was
purchased
by
rj
kelly.
K
K
K
B
Do
we
have
more
space
to
build
more
industrial
there's,
virtually
no
industrial
land
in.
B
B
They
did
the
community
center.
You
know,
I
I
remember
attending
a
public
hearing
saying
this.
B
B
There
is
some
industrial
land
on
banfield
road,
john
richie
has
that
project,
that's
being.
B
Former
automotive
place,
you
know
the
little
rag
tag
buildings
there
on
the
right
hand,
side.
B
B
B
Of
any
to
answer
your
question
vince,
there
may
be
a
little
tiny
piece
here
and
there,
but.
B
B
B
B
Will
pay
what
it
paid
what
they
have
to
get
into
the
marketplace?
I
don't
know
chris,
you.
B
B
Units
and
so
forth,
but
as
I
talked
about
the
existing
buildings
have
jumped.
B
And
now
it's
just
it's
it's
a
lot
higher
new
manufacturing.
You
know
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of.
B
Manufacturing
not
a
lot
we're
seeing
some
new
manufacturing
smaller
companies,
high-tech
focus
on.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Is
again
medical
device
equipment
machines?
Now
you
actually
have
an
indoor
hockey.
B
B
B
Hard
time
finding
employees
some
industrial
projects
that
we
just
wanted
to
talk
about
and.
B
Most
of
these
are
proposed,
none
of
them
are
under
construction.
To
my
knowledge,
industrial.
B
B
B
If
you've
ever
traveled,
it's
before
long
way
from
the
highway
system,
19
continental
drive
this.
B
They're,
a
footwear
manufacturer
they've
got
a
looks
like
they're
going
to
go
forth
with
about.
B
95
000
square
foot,
building
in
exeter
and
then
this
is
a
property.
That's
been
on
the.
B
Market,
conceptually
for
about
a
year
now
in
somersworth
on
187
route,
108
40,
000
square
feet.
K
B
B
B
Would
say
that
that's
probably
going
to
continue
to
go
up,
the
industrial
is
virtually.
B
Zero
percent
and
that
initial
spike
in
q3,
2020
or
q3
q4
in
2020,
was
partially
because
of
the.
K
K
Drive
right,
but
that's
probably
going
to
be
repurposed,
hopefully
so
cute
next
slide.
Please.
B
So
q2
vacancy
snapshot,
did
you
tell
what,
by
the
different
classes
of
space
you
know
b
and
a.
B
B
Office
space-
I
guess
it's
probably
the
moral
of
that
story
and
then
the
next
slide.
K
This
quarter
it
doubled,
especially
in
the
class,
a
market.
It
went
two
times
we
had
space
at.
K
K
B
B
B
K
Rents
yeah
the
salem
project,
that's
joe
farrow's
doing
next
supplies,
so
retail
vacancy
rates.
You.
B
Can
see
you
know,
they've
been
going
up
a
little
bit
in
the
stratford
market
and
pretty
level.
K
Impact
on
the
rates
yeah
do
the
tri-city
area
is
getting
a
lot
of
single
retailer
development.
B
Tractor
supply,
mb
traffic
tractor
bluebird
storage
and
things
like
that
they're
just
you.
B
The
retail
market
again,
vacancies
in
rockingham,
were
roughly
in
line
with
the
five-year
average.
B
B
B
B
B
Buildings
under
construction
were
recently
completed
in
that
area
and
again
that's
a
function.
B
B
It
is
to
have
municipal,
water
and
sewer,
which
is
hopefully
part
of
the
infrastructure
bill.
B
They
need
water
sewer
and
then
just
our
contact
information
in
case
you
have
any
questions
or.
B
Interests
we'd
happy
to,
and
we
do
christy
by
the
way
does
produce
a
quarterly
trends.
B
E
Or
leases
are
coming
up
to
end
point
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
What's
your
sense
about.
E
What
with
office
or
industrial
or
both,
let's
start
with
office,
but
I'm
curious
about
both.
B
B
A
F
F
B
Playing
into
this
is
we're,
seeing
some
tenants
say:
okay,
I'll
pay,
the
higher
rent,
but
I
want
you.
B
To
reconfigure
the
space
or
give
me
an
allowance,
you
know
we're
one
of
the
deals
we're
doing.
B
B
000
fit
up
allowance
to
be
used
over
the
term
the
lease
to
keep
them
in
the
building.
B
B
B
Ten
thousand
feet:
what's
up
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
chests
being
played
right
now
and
I
would
think.
E
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Protective
life
was
in
a
building
in
anne's
building
their
lease
term
expired.
The
end
of.
B
August
so
they're
gone.
We
had
no
luck,
finding
anybody
for
their
space,
but
I
don't
think
that.
B
B
Get
out
we
take
over
our
space,
we
do
have
you
know
one
andy
and
I
have
a
listing
a
constitution.
D
B
B
A
Curiosity
is
on
on
leasing
for
the
space
that's
available.
Are
we
seeing
people
interested.
B
B
Two
office
condominiums
in
dover
in
next
week
or
the
week
after
whatever
is
and
they're
both.
B
G
B
B
A
Little
tight
on
time,
but
next
on
our
agenda,
we've
got
our
city
council
update,
so
council.
J
Recently,
and
so
I'll
be
brief,
there's
one
of
the
things
that's
happened
is
the.
J
J
What
do
we
call
that
area
isn't
increasing
creek
area,
so
that's
extended
to.
J
J
I
think
basically
we're
looking
at
a
a
financial
incentive
to
the
city.
I
mean.
J
The
renewal
of
the
coalition
committee's
membership,
we're
talking
about.
J
You
know
basically
school
tax
and,
and
you
know,
donor
communities
again.
Where
am
I.
J
Oh,
the
cip
is
coming
we're
and
that's
that's
a
important
piece.
We're
going
to
start
working
on.
J
That
in
the
next
few
sessions,
so
anyone
has
capital
improvement
things
they
want
get
them
in.
J
The
the
greenway
project
is
connecting
the
rail
trail
to
portsmouth
and
the
whole
thing.
J
Creating
a
commotion
and
are
being.
J
Reason
to
you
know:
honor
the
first
amendment
rights
of
free
speech.
You
know
so
the
the
issue.
J
Is
primarily
the
prescott
park
forum
area
where
it
is?
That
is
a
place
to
speak
and
to
be
heard
and.
J
There's
just
some
questions
about.
I
I
think
I
think.
J
There
are
people
who
are
upset
because
of
the
of
the
politics
of
it,
rather
than
the
actual.
J
We
can't
disagree
with
it
because
of
what
people
are
saying
or
unless,
unless
they're
imposing.
J
Something
that
is
illegal,
for
example,
they
can't
they
can't
put
a
chair
with
signs
on
it.
J
So
it's
a
touchy
subject,
it's
a
very
touchy
subject.
H
Working
with
our
partner
and
the
development
team
to
advance
the
application
to
the
national.
H
H
A
One
question
for
council
lombardi
would
be
on
the
cip,
anything
that
is
already
contemplated
or.
H
H
So,
there's
all
the
information
you
could
ever
want
on
our
website
we're
going
to
be.
H
So
helping
folks
understand
the
process
and
and
how
they
can
get
involved.
D
Just
to
comment:
there
have
been
a
lot
of
projects
around
town
and
like
islington
street.
J
J
We
had
a
maybe
a
couple
years
ago,
didn't
we
have
a
cip
update
from
maybe
from
public.
D
J
Okay,
if
there's,
I
don't
think
we
have
anything
for
other
business.
A
Okay,
great
well,
then,
I
guess
we'll
just
confirm
our
next
regular
meeting.
I
believe.
A
That's
october
7th:
this
would
be
the
first
friday
so
put
that
in
your.
