The City of Nashua is seeking proposals for a public-private partnership to develop the Riverfront Public Library and adjacent properties. The proposed development should include a new or renovated library, a public park, and a parking structure. The City is open to ideas for how to use the included parcels more efficiently and effectively, and proposals may include additional components such as residential, mixed-use development, and commercial uses.

Key aspects of the proposal include: • A public library that serves as a community hub • A public park with a minimum size of 50,000 sqft • A parking structure to accommodate parking needs • Optional components such as residential, mixed-use development, and commercial uses • A development concept that reflects the architectural quality of historic buildings in the district and integrates contemporary design approaches • A proposal that demonstrates careful consideration of building materials, massing, facades, fenestration, and other features that establish the development's relationship to the public realm and adjacent properties
