Board Chairman Dexter Legg called the proposed project at 93 Pleasant St. by developer Mark McNabb “terrific.”
“I’m really excited about it, I think we all are,” Legg said.
He also referenced a comment that Gov. Chris Sununu made recently during a State of the State address to the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth.
“I’ll paraphrase him: ‘You can’t say you support business if you don’t support affordable housing’ and this is so necessary for Portsmouth and for the workers who work in Portsmouth,” Legg said during Thursday night’s Planning Board Zoom video conference meeting. “We can’t keep saying that we support affordable housing but not here or not there.”
PORTSMOUTH – A long-debated, 152-unit residential development along the North Mill Pond, is moving forward after receiving key approvals from the Planning Board late Thursday night.
As part of the development, called Residences at Islington Creek, developers are creating a ½-acre public park along the North Mill Pond and donating rights to the city for about ¾ of a mile of the long-planned North Mill Pond Trail and Greenway, a public multi-use path that will connect Market and Bartlett streets.
The development at 105 Bartlett St., once was proposed to include 272 apartments before developers scaled back the project, which has been under discussion or review since 2018.

Make the most of your day by joining our “Lunch Break” team. Get to know your local educators, learn about upcoming events and local resources to help you and your farm thrive.
Staying connected can be one of the most valuable time investments a person can make to support their overall health. Relationships with others positively affect mental well-being and ward off feelings of isolation and loneliness. During these times of social distancing and the avoidance of in-person gatherings, new doors are opening to farmers to stay connected online. Recently, a team of educators with Michigan State University Extension created “Lunch Break” sessions via Facebook Live to provide updates, tools, and resources and keep the farming community connected.
