On Tuesday October 1st, the Penacook Village Association is hosting a forum on housing. Presenting will be representatives from CATCH, NH Housing Finance Authority and the city manager.
Everyone agrees that there is a demand for housing, not only in Concord but nationally. And I believe everyone agrees that it is becoming more difficult to find and develop affordable housing. Local nonprofits who wish to apply for grants from the Merrimack County Savings Bank Foundation need to do so prior to October 1st. Information and applications are available on the Merrimack County Savings Bank’s website at themerrimack.com/about/community-involvement.
