Help Us Understand Broadband/Internet Access Needs In Our Region
As part of the New Hampshire Broadband Mapping and Planning Program (NHBMPP), the Central NH Regional Planning Commssion is conducting a sector based analysis of the broadband needs within our planning region. As part of our outreach for this needs assessment we have created an online survey based upon six sectors of special interest: education, healthcare, community support/government, public safety, business/economic development and residential. Our needs analysis will benefit from a diverse response to the survey. Results will be used in aggregate, not from individual respondents. On average the survey takes 10-15 minutes to fully complete; you are free to skip questions that are not relevant or not applicable. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

NHDES Seeking Loan Pre-applications for Drinking Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, and Nonpoint Source Projects
CONCORD - The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) is soliciting pre-applications for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and nonpoint source projects through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program.
CWSRF
The CWSRF program is a low-interest loan program that assists communities with the planning, design and construction of eligible water pollution control infrastructure projects. Borrowers are typically municipal or other local government entities. Most communities with publically owned wastewater systems are eligible to apply for a loan to improve their wastewater system. Projects that address stormwater or nonpoint source pollution problems may also be eligible. To apply, complete the "CWSRF 2013 Pre-Application" found at http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wweb/grants.htm. CWSRF pre-applications must be signed by the applicant and can be scanned and submitted via email to Dan Fenno at daniel.fenno@des.nh.gov. If you have questions regarding the pre-application, please contact Dan Fenno at (603) 271-3448 or daniel.fenno@des.nh.gov. CWSRF pre-applications are due by 4:00 pm on June 28, 2013.
DWSRF
The DWSRF program is a low-interest loan program that assists public water systems with the cost of improving drinking water infrastructure, including new and replacement well sources, treatment and pump house upgrades, storage tanks, water main replacements, new or replacement service water meters, interconnections between two or more existing public water systems, water conservation improvements, and energy efficiency improvements. Public water systems eligible include all community public water systems and non-transient non-profit public water systems. To apply, complete the online "DWSRF 2013 Pre-Application" found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013_DWSRF_PREAPP. If you have questions regarding the drinking water pre-application, please contact Dan Dudley at (603) 271-2953 or daniel.dudley@des.nh.gov. DWSRF pre-application responses are due before midnight on June 28, 2013.
INFORMATIONAL MEETING
DES will hold a "State Revolving Fund Informational Meeting" on June 6, 2012 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information to potential loan applicants about funding projects through the CWSRF and DWSRF programs. The meeting will include an overview of the CWSRF and DWSRF programs, as well as specifics on eligibility requirements, ranking criteria, loan conditions and application procedures. The meeting will be held at DES located at 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. Directions can be found online at http://des.nh.gov/contactus/directions.htm. There is no cost to attend, but please RSVP by May 30, 2013. To RSVP, please contact Laura Weit-Marcum at (603) 271-3307 or laura.weit-marcum@des.nh.gov.
RANKING CRITERIA
DES has developed a ranking system to evaluate and rank pre-applications for wastewater, stormwater and nonpoint source projects, because the need for CWSRF project funding exceeds the financing available. The purpose of the ranking system is to prioritize projects for the most cost efficient use of available funds. The CWSRF ranking criteria can be found at http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wweb/grants.htm. There are separate ranking criteria for wastewater and stormwater/nonpoint source projects. If you have questions regarding the wastewater ranking criteria, please contact James Tilley at (603) 271-3249 or james.tilley@des.nh.gov. If you have questions regarding the stormwater and nonpoint source ranking criteria, please contact Eric Williams at (603) 271-2358 or eric.williams@des.nh.gov.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
DES will hold public hearings on August 1, 2013 at 9:00 am to receive public comments on two water programs - the CWSRF program and the DWSRF program. The hearings will remain open until all comments have been received. Each hearing will immediately follow the close of the preceding hearing. The hearings will be held at DES located at 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. Directions can be found at http://des.nh.gov/contactus/directions.htm. For more information, please contact Dan Fenno at (603) 271-3448 or daniel.fenno@des.nh.gov for the CWSRF program and Dan Dudley at (603) 271-2953 or daniel.dudley@des.nh.gov for the DWSRF program.

April 16th Regional Community Conversation Concluded
The Regional Community Conversation held at Pembroke Academy on April 16 by UNH Cooperative Extension and NH Listens drew to a successful conclusion. Participants from 10 CNHRPC communities and from other towns across the State were separated into discussion groups, each of which discussed a series of topics about what is important to the region and what will be important to retain or obtain in the future to keep the characteristics people love about NH, the Central NH region, and their own communities. All responses were written on flip chart pages. Each group reported out to the full assembly. A summary of the Conversation will be developed by UNH Cooperative Extension, and subsequently provided to CNHRPC and emailed to participants. The summary will be posted here on the CNHRPC website when it becomes available. Results will be used to help develop the Central NH Region Master Plan. Thank you all for attending and providing your essential input about the Central NH Region!
