Public input on the Fair Point Park project: Where do we stand? During the April 15 Heritage Commission meeting, a resident raised concerns about whether community feedback on fencing and park entrances could still influence the final design. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
The Commission clarified that the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design services has not yet been issued. This means the design process is in its early stages, and there is still an opportunity for input to be passed to the project committee.
Currently, the Commission is waiting on the Town Manager to approve the RFQ. The Commission noted urgency in this step to take advantage of potential land conservation water fund grants. Stay tuned as this project moves forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/heritage-commission/2026-04-15/
During the Heritage Commission meeting on April 15, a resident raised an important question regarding the Fair Point Park project: Will the public still have a say in the design of park fencing and museum park openings? As the project moves toward selecting design services, the community is looking for assurance that local input will be integrated into the final look and accessibility of the park. The Commission Chair responded that the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design services has not yet been issued, suggesting that the window for influence is still open. The Chair encouraged the resident to submit their specific suggestions directly to the Fair Point Park Committee. The Commission is currently working to move this process along quickly, having sent a memo to the Town Manager to approve the RFQ. This urgency is driven by the goal of securing potential land conservation water fund grants. We will continue to monitor how the Town Manager responds and how public input is handled as the design phase begins. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/heritage-commission/2026-04-15/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
