Letter: Proud to work on Portsmouth comprehensive plan

Posted

To the editor:

The Portsmouth Comprehensive Community Plan (PCCP) is the town’s primary policy document used in planning and decision making by local officials. 

The PCCP provides a long-range view of how we want our town to look and function. This is the legal basis for our zoning ordinance and other land use controls, defined by the redevelopment plan of 2007.

As the founding leader of Preserve Portsmouth and an engaged citizen on various land-use topics or “crises” in our town, I jumped at the opportunity to participate with other citizens in the current review process of this significant document.

I am proud at this time to be a member of this diverse and perhaps polarized group and despite the local scuttlebutt, also proud to report that in a short time we have broken down our own walls to work together in building consensus on important visionary issues for our town.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
