Governor Ayotte Joins Groundbreaking Celebration for New Housing in Raymond

CONCORD, N.H. - Governor Kelly Ayotte today joined local leaders, developers, and community partners for the groundbreaking of Woodside Village, a new 60-unit apartment development that will expand housing opportunities in Raymond and support continued growth across the region.

Over the past year, Governor Ayotte signed the most ambitious set of housing reforms in state history to increase housing supply, speed up construction, and reduce barriers to development.

These efforts included:

  • Cutting outdated regulations
  • Streamlining the State permitting process to ensure state government does not unnecessarily delay construction
  • Expanding opportunities for accessory dwelling units
  • Enabling the conversion of underutilized commercial properties into housing
  • Directing state agencies to review land owned by the State that is no longer needed and determine whether it can be responsibly used for housing

Data recently released by the Department of Business and Economic Affairs showed housing construction reached its highest level in 20 years.
