1. Limited Shopping Facilities
58
Sufficient shopping for a town this size
Need to utilize Hatch Plaza for alternative to Walmart, more options. Bring back the
Dollar store.
Need more but growing, have Tilton as more move in we've competition
We can get almost everything we need within a 25 m drive)
No WalMart!
I just returned from Nashua – ugh
WalMart is great! Need a Home Depot/Lowe's next!
I would hate to see more "super centers" or strip malls in the Plymouth area. If we
expand shopping - keep it downtown, enhance downtown area, especially area by
the river! How about walkways along river?
There's plenty of shopping.
Walmart has relieved limited shopping and costs somewhat.
2. Expansion of PSU
42
PSU should never have been there
PSU expansion or churches are germain to Plymouth's problems
Should be encouraged-good jobs
Expansion of PSU is positive
I don't see expansion of PSU as a particular problem. If the Master Plan is also
expanding the economic base & good housing.
Expansion is going to happen & should be embraced with cooperation, not
adversity. Our infrastructure (public safety bldg.) needs improvement.
College expansion per se is no a problem - but how it's managed.
3. Cost of Housing
