Is NH Economic Development Actually a Land Grab?

Is “Economic Development” in NH Just a Land Grab Run by the Same Corrupt Insiders?

New Hampshire is seeing a surge in economic development groups, promising jobs, housing, and growth. But are they really here to help, or are they just another way for insiders to seize land, rig property values, and push locals out?

If you’re wondering why your property taxes keep rising and who really benefits from new development projects, the answer isn’t what they tell you. Many of New Hampshire’s so-called “economic development” groups are actually land grab operations run by the same small group of insiders who control the government offices, banks, and land records.

These people aren’t just working together—they ARE the system. They sit on town boards, control real estate markets, manipulate zoning laws, and oversee public land sales, all while claiming they’re helping the state grow.

How the Same People Are Running NH’s Land Grab

🏛 Government Officials & Developers Work Together

Many of the people who approve land deals also profit from them. Town officials, state board members, and real estate investors swap roles, making it easy to pass laws and projects that benefit them—while pushing regular people out.

📜 They Control Land Records & Zoning Laws

The same group manages town records, tax assessments, and land surveys, allowing them to erase old land claims, redraw property lines, and approve projects that benefit them.

💰 They Take Taxpayer Money While Raising Your Taxes

Developers get huge tax breaks, state funding, and special deals, but when it comes to paying for roads, schools, and town services, they shift the burden onto homeowners.

🏢 They Promise Development—But Just Flip the Land

Many “economic development” projects never happen. Instead, they buy land, sit on it for years while values rise, then sell it to their own shell companies at inflated prices—all while paying little or no taxes.

🚧 They Push Out Local Families & Businesses

By inflating land values and raising property taxes, they force longtime residents out, then sell the land to wealthy investors and corporations.

How This Corruption is Playing Out in NH

✅ 500-acre lots are disappearing—original land maps have been altered to erase historical property claims.

✅ The same people are running land boards, tax offices, and economic development groups, ensuring that every decision benefits their own interests.

✅ Towns are secretly rezoning land—allowing outside investors to buy up property while locals get pushed out.

✅ Your tax money is funding projects that never materialize, while your property taxes keep rising to cover the costs.

✅ Development groups and banks are working together to take over land, then flipping it for profit while driving up housing prices.

Why This Affects YOU

📈 Your property taxes keep going up while developers and corporations get tax breaks.

🏠 Your town is changing—but not for you. Wealthy investors are buying everything while longtime residents are being priced out.

🚧 That “new development” sign you see? It might just be a cover for a land-flipping scheme that benefits a handful of insiders.

The bottom line? This isn’t about helping the economy—it’s about a handful of people controlling the land, the laws, and the money. If nobody stops them, New Hampshire’s land and wealth will belong to the few, while the locals get squeezed out.
