Whether you’re new to Salem, or a long-standing resident seeking current information, this is just the resource for you! In July, the Town of Salem Communications Committee launched the town’s first New Resident Guide. This guide includes information on:

• Town government buildings and department contacts
• Utility services and transfer station access
• DMV services and dog licensing
• Voter registration and polling locations
• Public schools and educational resources
• Community spaces, parks, and recreational opportunities
• Official Town news sources and media channels

Be sure to check out the New Resident Guide today at:  https://salemnh.gov/newresidentguide

It serves as a welcome to the community, supporting new residents with an essential ‘how to get started.’ We encourage Town staff and community partners to refer new residents to this tool as part of their welcome outreach. The guide reflects a continued effort to improve transparency, civic onboarding, and community connection.

The inaugural Town of Salem Communications Committee was established in spring 2023, with the mission of enhancing town communication efforts. The Committee, serving in an advisory capacity to the Town Council, is charged with evaluating the effectiveness of current communications, making recommendations to reach more residents, and leveraging the various communication channels to keep citizens informed, engaged, and empowered to shape their community.
