2. University facilities and opportunities for continuing education

Provide NO significant advantage directly to Plymouth tax payers.
Anyone from other towns/cities have equal opportunities!!!
The college takes over too much of the town, residents are forced to pay higher
taxes. University is a mill stone on our neck.
University should pay there fair share of taxes. Afterall they use all of the towns'
services.
The lack of control the administration has over the 4000+ guests they present to our
town makes our community less appealing.
The university, which actually makes Plymouth, based on taxes, crime, etc., a less
attractive place to live.
The university is becoming more & more of a pain - traffic-fire calls-police problems-
open space more & more property is going to the college & taxes are being
distributed to local residents.
The university's facilities should be curtailed in its growth in this town. It has
smothered the town & growth should be spread into adjacent Holderness.
College is too large - taking over town & not paying their share.
Less PSU dominance on the town, small town atmosphere needs to recognize
population growth up I-93 corridor.
I think the university should go - they don't pay their share & it makes taxes high for
the rest of us.
3. Clean Air

Plymouth needs to improve on its way of sewage treatment.
Clean air seems to be a problem downtown.
Several times I've smelt a horrible sewer type odor. Very nasty down towards the
theatre & Kwik Check.
4. Small Town Atmosphere
9
Plymouth is losing its small town atmosphere.
Too much emphasis is placed on developing downtown which will never happen -
no parking.
Plymouth may be losing the small town atmosphere,what with the addition of
WalMart, Home Depot, Fairgrounds Rd. development.
Downtown/college changes have destroyed the "center of town" feeling, & not just
because of TMH development.
5. Access to Transportation Routes

6. Public School System
3
The property tax rate reflects the superiority of our services.
7. Open Space
7
All are still very good accept for open space - mostly due to the college cordonning
off, limiting public access to sections.
Open spaces are fast disappearing. How does this differ from any other
community?
Yes, except that WalMart destroyed part of these appealing characteristics, anyone
who voted to accept WalMart should feel deep shame.
