RPC Releases FY 2023/2024 Work Program Highlights

2023-06-08

I had to sum up Fiscal Year 2023 in one word, it’s housing. This year saw the completion of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and significant investment in planning to support new housing opportunities in New Hampshire. As we close out FY 2023, the RPC staff is looking to capture the momentum of the completed housing needs assessment to advance the regional conversation on housing. Data from the RHNA is supporting conversations and housing opportunity grant work in 15 communities (and counting) around the region. Housing will continue to be a focal point in the coming fiscal year as we integrate cross discipline planning to examine the codependency of transportation, wastewater infrastructure, drinking water and environmental resources in our housing work.

With more than 35 contract projects in the queue and a budget approaching $1.8M, FY 2024 promises to be one of the busiest years the RPC has seen in decades. The RPC is staffed and ready to meet this challenge as we welcome Victoria Healey and Mikayla Jerominek to the staff as new regional planners.

Our Budget and Work Program highlights from this past year’s work, a summary of our proposed budget for FY 2024, as well as a look ahead at some of the work we will take on as a region in the upcoming year.
