WELCOME!

Concord 2020 is a citizen involvement group supporting a smart growth vision in Concord, NH: vibrant downtown, walkable villages, environmental preservation, access to nature, economic vitality, and people-friendly transportation.

What's the Vision?

The Vision is the belief that Concord can grow and still maintain its attractive personal scale, if growth is focused around village centers and downtown.

The Vision is a belief that built and natural spaces may be—and should be—closely integrated but that the edges between them should remain clear, providing a welcome visual contrast and easy accessibility to both types of space. The village concept accomplishes this, bringing together residential, commercial, and green space at a walkable scale.

The Vision is the idea that Concord's growth should be managed by keeping the 5 Vision Principles balanced, over time and across the city. It is the belief that we can enhance our current living, working, and playing spaces in ways that provide for economic vitality and inevitable growth, without sacrificing our high quality of life or rational transportation.

5 Vision Principles
•
A vibrant, livable Downtown
•
Neighborhoods served by walkable villages
•
Preservation and access to the natural environment
•
Economic vitality
•
Transportation that serves the community
