Eastern Forge seeks tax exemption to move Nashua plant to Portsmouth
The Portsmouth city council will hold a special session to consider a ten year tax exemption for the Eastern Forge Company of Nashua. If granted, the company will buy the Portsmouth Machine Company plant on Hanover Street, remodel it, and bring at least 100 skilled workers with weekly wages of 1000 to 1200 dollars. The board of trade notes the potential payroll boost and local tax loss, while rail sidetracks and modernization plans are cited as steps to relocate the plant.
