PUBLIC COMMENT
DISCUSSION
Discussion of Nashua Artists and Court Street
Mayor Donchess
We were thinking we were wanting to update the committee regarding the potential of the artists moving into
Court Street. The figures regarding the improvements that would be needed there are so much influx that at
this point, we’d like to get things nailed down more specifically before we have anyone come in. That was
going to be Sarah Marchant.
