The Resource Clearinghouse for Growing Communities is made possible through a partnership of the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Center for Integrative Regional Problem Solving at The Carsey Institute and UNH Cooperative Extension in collaboration with the Rockingham Regional Planning Commission, Livable New Hampshire, The New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, the Southern Maine Regional Planning Commission, GrowSmart Maine, Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, the UNH Library, and other departments and programs of the University of New Hampshire. We thank the Nashua Regional Planning Commission and Concord 20/20 for their assistance in initial project development.

The development of this clearinghouse was funded through the generosity of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, the New Hampshire Estuaries Project, the Maine Community Foundation, UNH Cooperative Extension, and the UNH College of Life Sciences and Agriculture.

Technical assistance and web page development is provided by the Research Computing Center at the University of New Hampshire. Advice on project development is provided by the CIRPS Advisory Committee.

We thank all the many people who have contributed to developing, evaluating and improving this tool in the hopes of meeting the needs of community decision makers faced with the challenges of growing communities.
