Description
Rich in Culture, Rich in History. The shores of the Nashua River have witnessed the story of Nashua unfold, from Native American settlements, to the “Yankee Girls” who left their farms to work in the mills and spur Nashua’s growth as a manufacturing town, to the decline of the mill economy and the arrival of visionaries designing cutting edge high tech devices. Recent years have witnessed the echoes of “what used to be” replaced by the hope and promise of “what could be”.
Today, Nashua continues to improve and re-envision itself along the shores of the Nashua River. The Broad Street Parkway Project represents a fresh approach to over thirty years of community conversation regarding a third river crossing which will not only improve traffic flow, but also stands to improve the quality of life, environmental integrity and overall attractiveness and accessibility of the area west of the historic downtown.
This competition will identify a design concept for the Broad Street Parkway Project that will honor Nashua’s manufacturing and cultural heritage, weave the Tree Streets Neighborhood with the Nashua Millyard, maximize the usefulness of both shores of the Nashua River, and provide attractive access to current and proposed business and residential sites.
