The Londonderry Ecological Industrial Park, New Hampshire

The Town of Londonderry, New Hampshire is using eco-industrial development to address the negative effects of rapid growth. Londonderry has become one of New Hampshire's fastest-growing communities, and residents have mobilized to preserve the town's agricultural heritage and promote environmentally and culturally appropriate development. The Londonderry Ecological Industrial Park, an outcome of this mobilization, is one of the nation's prime examples of eco-industrial synergies. One tenant of the Park, a plastics recycling company, purchases waste plastic from Stonyfield Farms Yogurt, a firm located next to the Park. The Park has also attracted AES, a power company that will develop a 720 megawatt combined cycle natural gas power plant for the site and will use treated wastewater pumped from the City of Manchester's Waste Water Treatment Facility. In order to meet the Park's environmental standards, which are overseen by a citizen committee, the company has revolutionized environmental design of power plants.
