Somersworth developments in talks for Aclara site, plaza
SOMERSWORTH — Elected officials say there’s reason for excitement in the Hilltop City because redevelopment proposals are in the works for two key downtown properties.
While the projects are far from guaranteed and public details are limited due to the ongoing negotiations, Economic Development Committee Chair Marty Dumont said he’s thrilled developers are discussing with city staff ideas for Aclara’s sprawling campus and the parking lot at the nearby Somersworth Plaza.
“We’re excited because people are showing interest in our downtown,” said Dumont, who is also a city councilor.
