Pease Development Authority

Former Dover Fire Chief Perry Plummer, who is a prior head of New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management, was named interim director of the state Division of Ports & Harbors.

Richard Hartley was cleared of wrongdoing following an investigation into his conduct earlier this summer.

The lawsuit brought by Rye Harbor Lobster Pound accuses state regulators of unfairly targeting the business, after it saw a surge in popularity in the early years of the pandemic.

Richard Hartley was accused of inappropriate workplace behavior by at least two people, the Pease Development Authority disclosed on Friday.

In 2025, Geno Marconi, the longtime director of NH’s ports, was named in a civil suit for his alleged conduct while he worked for the state. The NH Attorney General’s office, which later prosecuted Marconi on criminal charges, is refusing to cover his bills.

La agencia a cargo del Aeropuerto Internacional de Portsmouth en Pease dice que no tienen autoridad legal para bloquear a ICE de seguir operando sus vuelos de deportación.

The Pease Development Authority released a memorandum Tuesday outlining the legal reasons for why it believes it must allow ICE to continue operating deportation-related flights out of Portsmouth International Airport.

There are several local efforts — including keeping track of the number of people put on the ICE flights leaving Portsmouth International Airport, protests and public meetings — to pressure local officials to end these flights.

Hay varios esfuerzos locales para presionar a los funcionarios a terminar con estos vuelos: rastrear el número de personas que ICE ubica en los vuelos de deportación que salen de Pease, protestas y participación en reuniones locales.

Neil Levesque, a Pease Development Authority board member, raised questions about Geno Marconi’s activities at Rye Harbor in a 2022 memo. Marconi responded with his own written defense.
