Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the nation`s third oldest city, is one of the most culturally rich destinations in the country with a stimulating mix of historic buildings, sidewalk cafes, great restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs and distinctive artisans` boutiques. Radiating out from Portsmouth`s iconic North Church, streets bustle with activity. The town brims with preserved historic sites including, seven National Historic Landmarks. From the striking selection of grand mansions, including the gabled former lodgings of renowned naval captain John Paul Jones to The Black Heritage Trail, a walking tour that traces the roots of African Americans in New Hampshire, Portsmouth is packed with history. Settled in 1623 at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, Portsmouth grew largely on its strength as a major shipbuilding center and fishing community. Four fires in the first half of the 1800s led the residents to build with brick, creating an extraordinary legacy of 19th century architecture. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt chose Portsmouth to host America`s first peace conference to end a war between two foreign powers and earned the Nobel Peace Prize for the resulting Treaty of Portsmouth. “Thanks to a longstanding commitment to historic preservation, Portsmouth, New Hampshire has never forgotten its sense of place,” said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “With its captivating blend of coastal beauty, historic buildings and lively downtown, there is something for every age and interest to experience.” As an employer the city remains competitive to ensure we retain the best the workforce has to offer. To accomplish this we provide comprehensive benefits including low cost medical insurance, free dental insurance, NH Retirement benefits, paid time off, holidays, education incentives, longevity bonuses, and discounts.
In 1956, the Legislature passed a bill creating DWR to plan, design, construct, and oversee the building of the nation`s largest state-built water development and conveyance system. Today, DWR protects, conserves, develops, and manages much of California`s water supply including the State Water Project which provides water for 27 million Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland Working with other agencies and the public, DWR develops strategic goals, and near-term and long-term actions to conserve, manage, develop, and sustain California`s watersheds, water resources, and management systems. DWR also works to prevent and respond to floods, droughts, and catastrophic events that would threaten public safety, water resources and management systems, the environment, and property. Balancing the State`s water needs with environmental protection remains a long-term challenge.
