GOV Capital Expenditure and Debt Service 6 18 2026

The Nashua Board of Aldermen held a Capital Expenditure and Debt Service meeting on June 18, 2026, focusing primarily on upcoming infrastructure and technology projects requiring funding and planning. Key procurement discussions included the urgent need to replace the city's aging ERP system by 2029-2030, with preliminary costs estimated around one million dollars for software upgrades and a potential multi-million dollar capital investment for a new system to improve operational efficiency and public interface. Additionally, the board discussed initiating a $250,000 design phase for City Hall renovations addressing HVAC, elevator upgrades, ADA compliance, and bathroom renovations, with total costs potentially reaching $10 million. Transportation infrastructure projects were also highlighted, including ongoing collaboration with the New Hampshire DOT on streetscaping and pedestrian improvements, and a $3 million pedestrian bridge at the Mohawk Tannery redevelopment, which the city is contractually obligated to fund despite the developer handling design and construction. The meeting also covered the expansion of the riverfront TIF district to support future capital improvements and redevelopment projects, with some developer-funded amenities like a dog park. No formal votes on appropriations were recorded during this session, but motions to adjourn were passed. The discussions set the stage for future budget requests and bond authorizations related to these capital projects.
