Welcome

Established by state legislation in 1969, the regional planning commissions of New Hampshire serve in an advisory role to local governments and community organizations. The Strafford Regional Planning Commission is composed of 18 municipalities including all 13 in Strafford County, three in Rockingham County, and two in Carroll County. Our mission is to assure that the region is responsive to the needs of its residents through cooperative actions with municipalities and federal and state agencies, through the implementation of regional plans, and through local planning assistance. Together, these actions foster sustainable development and improve the quality of life in the region. The Commission’s professional staff provide transportation, land use, economic development, hazard mitigation, water, public health, and natural resource planning services; geographic information systems (GIS) services; data collection and analysis; facilitation; and project management.
