TFMoran Sponsors 2025 Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber Economic Development Update

On September 19th, local leaders gathered at Bellavance Beverage in Londonderry for the Greater Derry-Londonderry Chamber’s 2025 Economic Development Update. The event featured updates across key sectors—energy, housing, manufacturing, education, transportation, and more—offering a snapshot of where the region stands and what’s ahead.

Here are some highlights from the morning’s speakers:

Manufacturing

Tony Fernandez, President/ Center Director of  NH Manufacturing Extension Partnership spoke about the importance of keeping our manufacturing sector competitive through innovation, technical support, and workforce development. As industries modernize, support for small and midsize manufacturers remains essential.

Energy

Michael Licata, Director of Government and Community Relations at Eversource Energy ,shared how grid modernization is top of mind. With more storms, more demand, and more renewables in the mix, Eversource is investing heavily in vegetation management and upgrading infrastructure. Costs are rising—especially due to supply chain issues—but there are more options now for customers to manage usage and energy bills.

Transportation

Tom Malafronte, Director of Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT), highlighted strong growth in passenger and cargo traffic. New routes are launching, including Fort Lauderdale and Raleigh-Durham, and MHT is now the third-largest cargo airport in New England. A new airport master plan is in the works, focusing on modernization and efficiency.

Finance & Small Business

Amy Bassett, NH District Director of the US Small Business Administration reported that lending is up—both in volume and value. SBA loans are helping businesses grow and invest in big ways. She also encouraged local businesses to connect with free SBA resources like the Small Business Development Center for counseling and support.

Healthcare

Dr. Michael Bergeron, Chief Medical Officer of Derry Medical Center emphasized the role healthcare plays in regional stability. He stressed the need for expanded services and stronger provider networks to meet growing demand and support a healthy workforce.

Workforce & Education

Mica Stark, President & CEO of  NH College and University Council/  Executive Director of Education Alliance of NH. Along with Dr. William Nevious President of Pinkerton Academy’s Board of Directors, both spoke on education and workforce pipelines. The message was clear: aligning K–12, higher ed, and job training programs with today’s industry needs is critical for future growth.

Housing

Rob Dapice, Executive Director of NH Housing addressed one of the region’s biggest challenges—housing affordability. He called for more workforce housing options, zoning flexibility, and collaboration between municipalities and developers to meet growing demand.

TFMoran is proud to sponsor the Greater Derry-Londonderry Chamber of Commerce and support events like the 2025 Economic Development Update. Staying connected to our local communities is not only important to our team—it’s essential to the work we do. These conversations around infrastructure, housing, transportation, and economic growth help shape the future of our region, and we’re committed to being part of that progress. We look forward to continuing our involvement and supporting initiatives that strengthen New Hampshire’s communities.

TFMoran Attends Unitil’s New Solar Array Ribbon Cutting

TFMoran’s Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon, recently attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Unitil’s groundbreaking 4.9-megawatt solar array in Kingston—the first solar array in New Hampshire to be owned by a public utility. TFMoran proudly provided civil and site engineering services for the project, which features over 11,000 solar panels and is expected to power more than 1,200 homes with clean, renewable energy for years to come.

Thomas P. Meissner, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Unitil, described the installation as a milestone achievement—demonstrating the potential of utility-scale solar while reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Sam Evans-Brown, Executive Director of Clean Energy NH, emphasized the array’s advanced tracking technology, which allows the panels to follow the sun and maximize energy production. He also highlighted the project’s recent recognition as “Project of the Year” with an Energy Champion Award during NH Energy Week, celebrating its innovative design and impact.

Despite the cloudy skies during the event, Meissner pointed out that the array was still generating 1.4 megawatts of electricity—nearly one-third of its full capacity—showcasing the resilience and efficiency of the system even in less-than-ideal conditions. This project not only demonstrates the practical potential of solar energy in New Hampshire but also sets a precedent for future utility-scale renewable energy initiatives across the region!
