Key actions approved (voice votes; motions carried):

- LRCP25‑020 (Department of Transportation): Authorize disposal and listing of a former maintenance parcel at 75 Route 27 in Raymond. DOT described a 2,400 square‑foot garage, an underground storage tank and a septic system; the department will list the property on the open market at $499,000 with a $1,100 administrative fee, and will require a boundary survey by the buyer. The town of Raymond declined interest; DOT will also solicit interest from New Hampshire Housing.

- LRCP25‑021 (Department of Transportation): Authorize disposal and listing of 3.11 acres on the southerly side of Indian Brook Drive in Dover, previously a Spalding Turnpike maintenance facility. DOT will list the parcel with a prequalified realtor for a one‑year term at not less than $660,000 plus a $1,100 administrative fee and will solicit interest from the City of Dover and New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.

- LRCP25‑022 (Department of Transportation): Authorize a permanent utility easement to the Conway Water Precinct across a roughly 1.21‑acre area of a 46‑acre state parcel originally acquired for the Conway Bypass. DOT reported the easement consideration at $36,000 plus a $1,100 administrative fee; Conway Water Precinct must provide a boundary survey.

- LRCP25‑023 (Department of Transportation): Approve a direct sale of a portion of limited‑access right of way at I‑95 Exit 1 southbound ramp in Seabrook to C and J Seabrook LLC for $218,700 plus a $1,100 administrative fee. DOT noted Federal Highway Administration approval will be required to discontinue that portion of the limited access right of way. A representative of C & J told the committee the Seabrook facility is landlocked and the parcel would allow the operator to expand parking; the representative confirmed the operator charges for parking and has invested in paving and security at other facilities.

- LRCP25‑025 (Department of Transportation): Approve a direct sale of roughly 0.4 acres on the northerly side of Northeastern Boulevard in Salem to Brooks Property LLC for $107,500 plus a $1,100 administrative fee. DOT will require a boundary survey and will solicit interest from the Town of Salem and New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.

Other items: The committee received an informational update from the New Hampshire Liquor Commission regarding the I‑95 Welcome Center liquor commission land; DOT said the site will go through an RFP process rather than a direct sale (no action was required). The committee also accepted informational minutes from the New Hampshire Council on Resources and Development (meeting of March 6) and noted three memoranda for surplus land review in New Ipswich, Belmont and Lebanon.

Most motions to approve DOT items were made by members present and carried by voice vote after brief committee questions. Each sale or easement includes a condition requiring a buyer or grantee boundary survey and an administrative fee of $1,100 unless otherwise noted. Several items noted outreach to municipal governments and the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority before final disposition. FHWA approval is required for the Seabrook sale before the state can discontinue limited‑access right of way.

Votes at a glance (all approved): LRCP25‑020 (Raymond listing) approved; LRCP25‑021 (Dover listing) approved; LRCP25‑022 (Conway easement) approved; LRCP25‑023 (Seabrook direct sale) approved; LRCP25‑024 (BEA lease amendment) approved (covered separately); LRCP25‑025 (Salem sale) approved; LRCP25‑026 (DES transfer to New Ipswich) approved (covered separately).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee (06/30/2025)","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved several Department of Transportation property dispositions, a utility easement and two direct sales, and received informational updates from the Liquor Commission and the state's resources council.","taxTitle","Long Range Capital Planning & Utilization Committee , House of Representatives, Committees\t, Legislative, New Hampshire","taxId",29718,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6552726,"Committee approves transfer of 0.37 acre to New Ipswich after cemetery encroachment; settlement totals $38,000",157,1471000,1628000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107725-8f2c9d0652f94e28cade0e808e463460&start=1471&end=1628","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107725-8f2c9d0652f94e28cade0e808e463460/thumbnail_1471000.jpg","/articles/6552726/New-Hampshire/Committee-approves-transfer-of-037-acre-to-New-Ipswich-after-cemetery-encroachment-settlement-totals-38000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552726-96f71f9b4f6a907d1ceff22bb500d234/orig.mp4?Expires=1773708047&Signature=Zb1R-1GaEfhymEy-BHyvZp9-wqMcMM9fhHmWZaBI9jsRo7bJvtFnv8AGNw37X0wzVzF4nwsE3DGRm2sR7D8cxVLJ3DpWhYixQ35TAFf7lmD0lllknWbjoQSlgxK9Yf9GGCh-MR3d~hgZAwwd5FMBTa1p7Hkyftdfa40kL0DOHWBr-1VD65v0z5tzr320mm2n2iKD0eSV9lyDAbv0XW9JLWBzjTc43tBo9n5lyfoN610gGSMbAt7jKjQ7lu1oFcgCejxrCT2D5Imctqmsv9EpdacoE5yIwflyfGrQljMZp2UrzdhMtrZ51N39MmcH6aHXQxmvYj8~8mCZMP0ub9XggQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Long Range Capital Planning & Utilization Committee voted to authorize the Department of Environmental Services to transfer 0.37 acre of state‑owned land to the Town of New Ipswich to resolve an accidental expansion of plots from Smithville Cemetery onto state property at the Souhegan flood control site.

Corey Clark, chief engineer at the Dam Bureau for the Department of Environmental Services, said routine surveying in 2013 revealed that cemetery plots and graves extended onto state land. Clark said the bureau and the town have worked to correct the situation for more than a decade. Under a settlement reached in 2023, Clark said the town will pay a combined $38,000 that reflects a $13,000 payment for the land plus roughly $25,000 in additional costs tied to impacts on future repair or replacement of drainage infrastructure.

Clark told the committee that in 2015 legislation (HB 275) authorized a lot‑line adjustment process that permitted the state and the town to reach a formal agreement. Clark said there is no current damage to the downstream dam or drainage system, but the assessment examined the potential added cost to replace the drainage system if graves require special handling; that analysis produced the roughly $25,000 figure. The transfer is intended to formalize the property boundary and remove uncertainties about construction staging and future repairs.

A committee member asked whether there was any actual damage to the dam; Clark replied there was not. The committee approved LRCP25‑026. The department will require the usual boundary survey as a condition of transfer.","The Long Range Capital Planning & Utilization Committee approved a transfer of 0.37 acre of state land to the Town of New Ipswich to resolve an encroachment of graves onto a Souhegan River flood control site; the parties agreed to a $38,000 settlement addressing purchase and impacts to future drainage work.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6552730,"Committee approves BEA lease amendment to encompass Gopher space; agency to use interagency reimbursement",411,455000,866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5107725-8f2c9d0652f94e28cade0e808e463460&start=455&end=866","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5107725-8f2c9d0652f94e28cade0e808e463460/thumbnail_455000.jpg","/articles/6552730/New-Hampshire/Committee-approves-BEA-lease-amendment-to-encompass-Gopher-space-agency-to-use-interagency-reimbursement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552730-85e6b1ffca7608b43c5ef4de3a5ca349/orig.mp4?Expires=1773708047&Signature=kAsrcp5ii6WG4-jW1pfqaGZ2eOsUcT8YKG2eGMuwXEYsOwpAe0-CUq-GbqQPiT~rwfPOcahn2ZoGIF6uFOkyHp66nxjrmUIcTIuVu5Ac7js~-4h3n3LXOO7jcXBItnOB16vhZvf12AKE7riBmzGJKE4noPn~o89CfwvVzWaOcsaUkDwJYgLOAE6xiFRmLYeQ-ecJt9CLPX-oUdYW7WULwRLQ~EaHRwoNkAj2EvJXu0d7xg06RM8O3S7SHZlcvHDKwUNMnKJnXcqVYZVrgIMhkPMym1PktsGnLu1HgkqwLP-IeNgP9IzdcTjw2XUtOgazxQPZQiOcBt1HPcUlnhO7zw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Long Range Capital Planning & Utilization Committee approved a 37‑month lease amendment allowing the Department of Business and Economic Affairs to incorporate space currently occupied by the Government Office of Federal and Economic Relief, known as Gopher, into BEA's lease and to execute an interagency reimbursement arrangement so Gopher can continue occupying part of the space at a reduced per‑square‑foot rate.

BEA Director of Finance Kathy Frederickson told the committee the amendment would let BEA assume the portion of the lease now held by Gopher and then run an interagency transaction so Gopher can remain in the building at a better rate \"for the state.\" Frederickson said the agencies occupy contiguous space in the building and the change does not increase the total square footage used by the two agencies, but allows the state to realize a lower per‑square‑foot cost because BEA holds a larger overall lease.

Frederickson said Gopher staff levels \"fluctuate depending on the demand of what they provide for state services,\" and the arrangement gives both agencies flexibility to reallocate staff within the same overall footprint. When asked what Gopher is, Frederickson replied, \"It's the Government Office of Federal and Economic Relief.\" She also told the committee that under the agreement Gopher will reimburse BEA with federal funds and that BEA will net about a $1,000 reduction overall while Gopher will realize approximately a $2,500 reduction in federal expenditure. Frederickson said a memorandum of understanding between BEA and Gopher was approved at the governor and council on 06/25.

Senator McConkie asked whether BEA would be changing floors or otherwise increasing its total space; Frederickson said the arrangement retains the same total square footage between the two agencies and merely adjusts which agency holds which portions of the lease. No member raised objections. A motion to accept LRCP25‑024 carried.

The committee recorded the action as an approved lease amendment; the committee did not request additional conditions beyond the interagency transaction and existing approvals described by BEA.","The Long Range Capital Planning & Utilization Committee approved a 37‑month lease amendment allowing the Department of Business and Economic Affairs (BEA) to assume space occupied by the Government Office of Federal and Economic Relief (Gopher) and to process an interagency reimbursement using federal funds, the committee was told.","actionData","errors"]
