Strafford Regional Planning Commission seeks public input on future of region

posted on 3/20/2025

The Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC) has launched a comprehensive survey seeking input from residents and stakeholders to shape the future of the region.

The "Forward Thinking" survey aims to gather diverse perspectives on key issues including infrastructure, transportation, housing affordability, economic development and quality of life across the region. SRPC is looking to hear from a wide range of voices throughout this process, including residents, business owners, and community leaders.

The survey covers critical topics such as land use preferences, housing affordability challenges, transportation priorities and economic development opportunities. Responses will help identify regional priorities and inform future planning decisions.

The Strafford Planning Region includes communities in Strafford County, along with Brookfield and Wakefield in Carroll County, and Northwood, Nottingham, and Newmarket in Rockingham County.

Anyone with a connection to the region is encouraged to participate, whether they live, work, vacation in the area or are considering relocating there.

The survey is available online at surveymonkey.com/r/srpcforward. Hard copies are available at City Hall in Dover.
