DERRY — As development for the next part of the Exit 4A project begins, Derry’s Planning Board is looking to residents to tell them what they should do with the land.
The Derry Planning Board is reviewing zoning and land use for the Gateway District, an area of town where Exit 4A meets Folsom Road. They’ll have information meetings in January and February to gather input from residents and property owners.
There will be three sessions broken down by different zones in the district. They will be held at the Derry Municipal Center, 14 Manning St., 3rd Floor Meeting Room.

Session One is scheduled for Jan. 6. from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and will cover the area near Crystal Avenue;
Session Two will be on Feb. 10 with times to be determined, and will cover around Madden Road and Ash Street;
Session Three will be on Feb. 24, with times to be determined, and will cover the area north of Folsom Road.
The Planning Department is asking interested residents to contact derryplanning@derrynh.org ahead of the discussion sessions. There will also be a listen-only zoom link for residents who want to join the sessions remotely posted to the Planning Board’s website at derrynh.org/planning-board.

The Planning Board is going to use the input from these sessions to establish zoning and land-use rules for the Gateway District. The board plans to reveal those changes in the spring of 2025.
The board also wants people to come to these sessions ready with big ideas about the future of this very valuable area made more accessible by the new highway exit.
Some questions they hope for residents to answer include: what do you like about the Gateway District as it currently stands; are there any changes or improvements you would like to see; and what particular types of businesses and amenities would you like to see in the future.
The Exit 4A Project dates back to December 2015, when the Derry Town Council voted to enter into a three-party agreement with Londonderry and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to move forward with the new ramps. Both towns are committed to spending $5 million on the project.
Exit 4A is designed to reduce traffic congestion, improve safety and promote economic development and vitality in the area.
