The Hooksett Town Council meeting held on July 23, 2025, focused on several key developments concerning local planning and infrastructure. The meeting began with a presentation from Brady Sullivan regarding a third conceptual plan for the Cigna Building. The primary objective of this plan is to initiate construction on the main building while addressing two additional components required under the previously granted Conditional Use Permit.

Council members discussed recent changes following CB Solomon's acquisition of rights to a 420-home property near Hedge Pond. The developers are revising their original plans to eliminate townhouses in favor of a single building complex. This decision is influenced by the understanding that townhouses typically attract more families, which could impact population growth in the area. The developers aim to adjust their proposal to align with the community's needs while considering the market dynamics of housing availability.

Additionally, the council addressed the extension of the sewer line to connect the Hedge Pond area through the Cigna site and Thomas Thompson Avenue. This infrastructure improvement is intended to enhance the capacity of the sewer system to accommodate future growth.

The Economic Development Committee (EDC) also presented initiatives aimed at promoting public understanding of the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program. The committee emphasized the importance of clear communication to dispel any confusion surrounding the TIF district and its benefits. They plan to engage in public relations and outreach efforts to ensure residents are well-informed about the program and its implications for the community.

In summary, the meeting highlighted ongoing developments in local planning, infrastructure improvements, and efforts to enhance public understanding of economic initiatives. The council's focus on these areas reflects a commitment to addressing community needs while fostering growth and development in Hooksett.
