Community

The Salem Town Seal, with its motto, "Industry, Commerce, Recreation," serves as a perfect backdrop for the community's unique assets - location, accessibility, unspoiled natural resources, and a pro-business attitude. It's a combination that will serve as a guide to prosperity well into the new century.

Salem mixes small town, rural living with the advantages offered by a city. Add to that being located in "the most livable" state in the country, one of the most favorable business climates anywhere, easy access to Boston (not to mention the entire Northeast and Canada), and an educated, highly motivated, and dedicated workforce and you have the ideal place to live, work and raise a family.

Mission Statement

The Town of Salem, as the Gateway to New Hampshire, is dedicated to continuously improving the quality of life for all residents by promoting its location, accessibility, unspoiled natural resources, and pro-business attitude.
