The Hooksett Economic Development Advisory Committee made significant strides at their recent meeting on April 16, 2025, approving the College Park site plan and moving forward with Brady Sullivan's development proposal. The committee unanimously supported the project, which includes 80 residential units in the Cigna Building and an additional 80 townhouses, alongside some commercial space.
The approval follows a successful zoning board meeting where community members expressed mixed opinions about the development. Notably, misinformation circulated on social media regarding the number of units, with some claiming there would be 400 units. Committee members clarified that only 60 units were under consideration for College Park, while the larger project was associated with Manchester Santa Gravel.
The development is expected to address local sewer issues, a significant concern for residents, and enhance the neighborhood's infrastructure. The committee emphasized the importance of clear communication with the public to dispel rumors and ensure community engagement. As the project progresses to the planning board, the committee remains optimistic about its potential benefits for Hooksett.
