📰 News we're reading

• Drop in travel, tourism raises concerns for some New Hampshire communities (wmur.com) — Hampton business leaders are bracing for fewer Canadian visitors this summer, which could trim tourism dollars along the beach and strip. Despite a national drop in travel, the local chamber president still expects a “very good” season, with hotel bookings steady but not booming.    

• Nottingham data center plan withdrawn. Seacoast businessman explains why. (granitepostnews.com) — A proposed data center in Nottingham has been pulled back after strong regional opposition, but the Hampton- and Rye-based developer says he may revisit the idea. Residents and state leaders raised concerns about water, noise, and especially energy costs, sparking a large petition and planned protest. Hampton readers may want to watch this closely, as future decisions could affect Seacoast power demand and development patterns.    

• The incredible horseshoe crab spawning ritual you can see each spring (seacoastonline.com) — If you’re fascinated by local marine life, this piece explains how and when to see horseshoe crabs spawning just a short drive away at Great Bay in Greenland, NH, while also nodding to Hampton Beach’s coastal wildlife ties. You’ll learn why these ancient creatures matter to medicine and how to time a visit to witness their remarkable migration.
