GOV Committee on Infrastructure 7 22 2026

The Nashua Board of Aldermen Committee on Infrastructure convened on July 22, 2026, to discuss several procurement and policy matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the authorization of the sale of approximately four acres of surplus city right-of-way property near Veterans Memorial Parkway, with plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to encourage redevelopment that supports multimodal pathways and residential uses. The committee addressed concerns about traffic impacts, zoning, wetlands, and the disposition of sale proceeds. Additionally, the committee reviewed procedures for a forthcoming public auction of tax-deeded properties, emphasizing compliance with state statutes and the handling of mobile homes on auctioned properties. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a proposed ordinance to allow overnight on-street parking in Ward 5 during warmer months. The discussion highlighted enforcement challenges, impacts on emergency vehicle access, and the need for a structured pilot program rather than ward-based implementation. The committee ultimately voted to indefinitely postpone the ordinance to allow for further study and development of a comprehensive parking program, with plans to revisit the issue in future meetings. No final votes were taken on the property sale authorization, but the motion for passage carried in committee, pending full board approval.
