Joint Meetings and Hearings

• RSA 676:2 Joint Meetings and Hearings
• Pelham Strategic Plan for Economic Development
  The Town of Pelham created and adopted a Strategic Plan for Economic Development which encourages the Town’s land use boards to work together to streamline the permitting process for thoughtful commercial projects. NH statues (RSA 676:2) allow for joint hearings, however most communities’ land use boards are hesitant or unwilling to meet in this manner.
