BERLIN, NH Berlin fire and EMS, and New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officers responded to an accident involving a snowmobile in Jericho Mountain State Park on Saturday.
NH Fish and Game Officer Matthew Holmes said around 3:45 p.m., Alison Pacheco, 31, of Swanzey, Massachusetts, was a passenger on a snowmobile being operated by a family member. While negotiating an uphill portion of the Kilowatt Trail in Jericho Mountain State Park, the snowmobile Pacheco was riding on dropped a ski into a divot in the trail and caused the machine to tip to one side. It is believed that Pacheco instinctively put a foot down to stop a rollover, which in turn resulted in a significant leg injury.
BERLIN â An off-road recreation park, a solar-powered pod line up Jericho Mountain, and three separate campgrounds â the Route 110 area near Jericho Mountain State Park is attracting attention from developers.
In response, the city is looking at economic incentives it can offer to encourage development and make infrastructure improvements there. With Benoit Lamontagne and Bridgett Beckwith from the N.H. Business and Economic Affairs attending via Zoom, the city council Monday discussed a variety of tax incentive proposals and federal funding opportunities.
The most sweeping idea is creating a Tax Increment Financing district under state regulations.
Beckwith said for a TIF district, the community defines an area that needs major infrastructure improvements to attract new investments.
