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.”

.- One of the perks of leading premier cultural institutions, besides the substantial salaries, is the use of elegant apartments, which are often owned by arts organizations and passed from one top executive to the next.
But the Brooklyn Academy of Music took it a step further in 2015 when Katy Clark became its president. The organization gave its new leader nearly half the purchase price of a $1.9 million, three-bedroom prewar home overlooking Prospect Park that she could call her own.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – A pair of investigation requests the city’s sitting at-large Aldermen are now history.
In an 8-3 vote, requests to send separate incidents related to Joseph Kelly Levasseur and Dan O’Neil to send both matters to the city’s conduct board were received and filed by the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BMA), effectively killing them.
The issue with O’Neil was requested by former Ward 6 Alderman Elizabeth Moreau, referencing a recent incident where O’Neil was listed as a vice president of a company in Massachusetts, Brooks and Associates, something he did not state on his required campaign financing documentation.
