Planning Board
Mission Statement:
Article 17 of the 1952 Town Meeting established a five member Planning Board in the Town of New Durham. Article 4 of the 1968 Town Meeting gave the Planning Board the authority to approve or disapprove subdivisions within the Town. Article 2 of the 2004 Town Meeting voted to have a publicly elected five member Planning Board per RSA 673:2 II(b)(1) and 673:5 II. The five alternate members are appointed by the Planning Board.
The mission of the Town of New Durham Planning Board is to:
- Generate a shared community vision of the future of the Town;
- Encourage-through education, ordinance, regulation, and other means--land uses that help create that vision;
- Foster a well informed and active electorate; and

- Adopting or recommending Codes, Ordinances and Rules that can help turn that vision into a reality.
