ACTION 8.5.1

Implement West Lebanon Charrette Studies (PLN)

In Progress
Current Status
Negotiations continue with NH DOT to acquire a portion of the railyard and develop it into a recreational area. NH DOT has conceptually approved design for multi-use path along CT riverfront. NH AG is not agreeing to terms of environmental liability ownership, potentially stalling land ownership transfer indefinitely. WLRC and EDC analyzed the potential benefits of creating a TIF district in West Lebanon. The discussions were put on hold in the absence of a defined public improvement to be undertaken.
