Community Campus

On September 16, 2021, the City of Portsmouth announced that The Foundation for Seacoast Health intended to sell the Community Campus building and surrounding 34 acres to the City of Portsmouth, having determined the City to be the ideal buyer to manage the Campus. The Foundation’s board agreed that a sale to the City of Portsmouth would ensure their legacy to support area non-profits, and the services they provide, would remain accessible to Seacoast area residents.

The City made the decision to move forward with a letter of intent with the Foundation for Seacoast Health because of the tremendous potential the Community Campus provides to reinforce the City’s Recreation and School Department programs and facilities and because of the opportunity for the City to acquire such a significant property with a physical connection to the new athletic field, and to determine the future use of that site.
