During the recent Hooksett TIF Advisory Committee meeting on July 23, 2025, members discussed strategies for effectively communicating economic development plans to the community. A key focus was on ensuring that residents receive clear and accessible information about upcoming projects and initiatives.

Committee members emphasized the importance of using various platforms to disseminate information. They proposed utilizing the town's newsletter, website, and social media channels, including Facebook, to reach a wider audience. A dedicated landing page for the Fifth District was mentioned as a central hub for updates, which could also include e-alerts and press releases to local media outlets.

To enhance community engagement, the committee suggested hosting public forums to explain the economic development process in person. This approach aims to break down complex information into manageable segments, making it easier for residents to understand. The idea is to avoid overwhelming the public with lengthy presentations, instead opting for shorter, focused videos that cover specific topics.

The discussions highlighted a commitment to transparency and community involvement in the planning process. By leveraging multiple communication channels and encouraging public participation, the committee aims to foster a well-informed community that is actively engaged in Hooksett's economic development efforts. As these initiatives move forward, the committee's outreach strategies will play a crucial role in connecting residents with the information they need to stay informed and involved.
