Downtown / Business Association – New Market NH Newmarket’s historic downtown mills represent the very heart and vitality of the community. Constructed from locally quarried split granite in the 1820’s, they are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Essex Mills Complex has been restored through cooperation between the public and private sectors. Today, it is transformed into 36 condominium units. Craftbrewer Smuttynose Brewing, working with the Newmarket Community Development Corporation, signed an option agreement to locate its beer-making operations in the downtown mill area. Additional plans call for a restaurant, inn and bakery. The Newmarket Main Street Corporation is promoting downtown economic revitalization while retaining the town’s historic and cultural characteristics. Two examples of the NMSC at work are the annual Heritage Festival, held downtown in early September, and the Engine House restoration project, which town leaders hope will set the stage for further efforts downtown. The Newmarket Business Association works directly with the town administration and the Community Development Corporation to promote Newmarket to existing and potential businesses. Business leaders believe attracting new business hinges upon fostering the growth of businesses that already exist here.
