Littleton
is a rural community of 7,500 people located in northern New Hampshire. Concordia facilitated a planning process to assist the community in identifying resources and needs. More than one hundred community stakeholders participated in the master planning process based on the Concordia Model, which will also serve as the foundation for an innovative and integrated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) community data base.
