Concord’s endangered gasholder will be the topic of discussion inside the Arctic Circle on Friday.
Efforts to save and rehabilitate the gasholder will be featured at the 19th international TICCIH Congress in Kiruna, Sweden, as part of a week-long conference highlighting former industrial sites that are being transformed into housing, public parks, tourist destinations and more.
Althea Barton, a member of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s gasholder team, is providing a virtual presentation of the years-long effort along with several international experts on industrial conversion. With its inner workings still intact, the Concord gasholder has drawn attention because of its status as the last of its kind, as well as the development potential of the two-acre gasworks site.
The talk is slated for Friday morning, Swedish time.
