Hood Park Steering Committee

The Economic Development team applied for a grant for community outreach and engagement to assist in determining how Hood Park could be revitalized.  Unfortunately, the grant was not awarded to the Town of Derry, but that has not stopped progress on this important effort.  A Steering Committee was formed to assist in the effort to revitalize Hood Park.   The Committee will reach out to the public in a variety of ways to gather ideas and input about what should ultimately happen with Hood Park.   It is very important to hear from you about what you envision Hood Park to be or to become.  All of the information will be collected and then reviewed by our partner, UNH Cooperative Extension.  They will assist the Steering Committee in drafting a recommendation to Town Council.  This is a fast moving project and it is hoped that the Steering Committee will be able to speak with the Town Council by December, 2020 or January, 2021.   

An information HUB has been created to compile information about the Park, its surrounds, and to gather the public input so that everyone can see it.  Click HERE to view the HUB.
