Julia Whitney
Chamber members – I am so excited to be bringing a new Downtown Update to you, on a monthly basis! With all of the incredible economic development projects and growth in this city, there is no shortage of things to do in New Hampshire’s Downtown! In honor of Valentine’s Day next week, I thought I would share some fun and unique date night ideas with you! Take a look below and support the businesses that make our Downtown so great. Don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions.
Cheers!
