City boards are advancing a wave of small and mid-size projects, including income-restricted apartments and new duplexes, helped by relaxed parking rules and zoning changes aimed at easing prices and boosting the tax base.

Thief From Concord, With Several Priors, Arrested On Another Theft Charge: Concord Police Log (patch.com) — Concord residents can see a recent snapshot of local police activity, with several people from Concord and nearby towns facing charges ranging from assault and trespass to drug possession and theft at familiar locations like Loudon Road and Fort Eddy Road.

3. Concord, N.H.'s Kiley Taylor has a blast winning A Shot for Life's softball home run derby (bostonglobe.com) — Concord high school senior Maggie Taylor helped highlight local talent as her sister Kiley crushed 34 home runs to win the A Shot for Life softball derby, a charity event that raised over $86,000 for cancer care.

4. NH Legal Perspective: Are New Hampshire's waste reduction goals enough? (unionleader.com) — New Hampshire is cutting overall trash disposal but recycling rates are slipping, raising questions about whether current waste reduction goals go far enough. A legal expert explains how state law, new landfill permitting rules, and ideas floated in Concord—like extended producer responsibility—could shape future landfill capacity and recycling efforts that ultimately affect every community, including Concord.
   

5. Inside the campaign to revive a vetoed 'food freedom' bill (concordmonitor.com) — Lawmakers in Concord recently upheld Gov. Kelly Ayotte's veto of House Bill 396, ending this session's push to let small farmers sell uninspected meat directly to consumers. The debate drew in new East Kingston resident and national "food freedom" activist Meryl Nass, who is already planning another attempt next year while broader fights over federal food regulation continue.
