New Hampshire’s Community Land Trust Network is the permanent foundation beneath the NH Green Corridor.
It ensures that every new energy site, childcare center, R&D campus, housing village, and climate-resilience hub is built on land that stays in local, renewable, community ownership — forever.

The CLT protects the people, the land, and the long-term integrity of the Corridor.

A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a nonprofit public-benefit entity that owns land permanently while leasing it long-term (typically 99 years) to ethical, green facilities built through the Corridor.

This keeps land affordable, prevents speculation, and ensures that every project serves New Hampshire residents first.

The CLT ensures that all growth follows NH’s core promises:

✓ Zero Emissions

Every project built on trust land must follow the Green Clause — 100% renewable power, carbon-neutral construction, adaptive reuse, and zero data warehousing.

✓ Local Ownership (51%)

Trust land can only be leased to projects with NH’s 51% cooperative ownership rule, ensuring profits stay in-state.

✓ 100% Self-Sustainability

Trust land is reserved for green energy, food security, live-work housing, childcare hubs, water resilience, and tech campuses that make NH self-sustaining by 2040.

✓ No Displacement, No Speculation

Land is never sold. Homes remain affordable. Growth cannot push out families or small businesses.

1. Land Is Acquired Into the Trust

Through green bonds, donation, adaptive reuse, or corridor development.

2. The Trust Holds the Land Permanently

This prevents privatization, outside acquisition, or profit-driven land turnover.

3. Projects Lease the Land Long-Term

Green campuses pay an affordable renewable-lease fee that funds future housing, childcare, and local development.

4. Buildings Follow Corridor Standards

All facilities must comply with:

• 51% NH ownership

• 80/20 workforce ratio

• Free childcare for workers

• Renewable operations

• Local hiring & training

• Equity escrow for employees

5. Community Benefits Flow Back Into the CLT

Lease revenue stabilizes housing costs, funds training, expands childcare, and keeps NH families rooted in the communities they build.

CLT-designated sites will host key Corridor expansions including:

• Renewable energy & grid storage hubs

• Food, water, and agricultural R&D centers

• AI ethics and green compute campuses

• Cyber, maritime, and defense-resilience labs

• Eco-resorts, workforce villages, and wellness campuses

• Live–work–learn childcare and housing communities

All projects operate within the CLT to guarantee long-term public benefit.

A future where land stays local.
Where families can live and work in the same community.
Where housing stays affordable.
Where green jobs grow without pushing people out.
Where growth is ethical, stable, and renewable — forever.

The CLT ensures New Hampshire doesn’t just lead the Green Corridor —
it protects it.
