Already off to a great start, the effort to revitalize Littleton, New Hampshire‘s downtown along the Ammonoosuc River recently received a $500,000 grant from the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority.
Taylor Caswell, who is the CDFA’s executive director and a Littleton native, on Nov. 12, 2015 presented a large ceremonial check to town officials during a brief gathering on the covered pedestrian bridge that spans the Ammonoosuc.
The River District, according to the commission, is important to Littleton because it is key to enhancing the beauty of the town; creating new business opportunities; complementing existing Main Street businesses; preserving historic assets; extending pedestrian/cycling trails; and re-inventing Littleton as a tourist destination.
