SOMERSWORTH – In a city of 10 square miles and just under 12,000 residents, downtown Somersworth business owners have formed a group to rebrand it as a place worth seeing and experiencing.
This effort has been several years in the works, initially sparked by a downtown business roundtable group started by Somersworth s Economic Development Manager Robin Comstock, when she first joined the city staff in 2017.
Over time, this roundtable turned into a small group of business owners dedicated to finding ways to revitalize their downtown, in collaboration with Comstock and the Falls Chamber of Commerce. Downtowns are really the anchor of the soul of the community, Comstock said. At the core of revitalization is a vibrant downtown that serves as a postage stamp to tell the rest of the world what that community is about. It s the identifier, a glimpse of its history and where the future is headed.
