- Proximity to Concord and Interstate 93 makes Loudon particularly attractive.

The Proposed Incentive
Loudon officials are weighing a new tax incentive proposal geared toward spurring development along Route 106. The primary goal is to incentivize businesses to set up shop in town, broadening Loudon’s tax base and potentially easing the financial burden on its residents.
A Champion for Growth
Ned Lizotte is at the forefront of this effort. He envisions a more vibrant future for Loudon, one in which business-friendly policies and existing advantages encourage entrepreneurs and corporations alike to choose the town as their home. According to Lizotte, effective incentives could drive commercial demand and generate new jobs.
Why Route 106 Matters
“It all starts with Route 106,” Lizotte has said of Loudon’s main commercial and industrial thoroughfare. By concentrating efforts there, the town hopes to transform this stretch of road into a thriving business corridor, creating an anchor for future investment and growth.
Location, Location, Location
Loudon’s close proximity to Concord and Interstate 93 is a powerful selling point for potential investors. This accessibility positions the town as a convenient place for businesses to establish operations, with easy routes to major markets and transport channels.
Looking Ahead
Advocates like Lizotte believe that a dynamic commercial district could lessen the property tax load on local homeowners. If more businesses break ground in Loudon, the expanded commercial tax revenue may help stabilize or even reduce the taxes residents pay. While much of the plan remains in the proposal stage, local leaders are optimistic about the possibilities for revitalizing Route 106 and, in doing so, forging a brighter economic future for the entire town.
