Local Marketing Agency Shines Light on Saving Portsmouth Bridges with Donation of New Website

Portsmouth, NH, September 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Harbour Light Strategic Marketing donated time and resources to create new interactive website for the Save Our Bridges campaign. Harbour Light designed the new website for the local advocacy group, as an effort to help generate greater community support and federal funding that is desperately needed to repair two deteriorating bridges connecting NH and Maine.

The new Save Our Bridges website www.SeacoastBridges.com highlights the current state, and severity of structural damage of the Memorial and Sarah Mildred Long Bridges. Additionally, the site calls attention to the extent of government funding needed to repair the damage, reasons why the local community must act now to save both bridges, and outlines the “call to action” necessary to prevent the catastrophic closing of the two bridges.

Ned Savoie, Creative Director at Harbour Light in downtown Portsmouth, and longtime resident of Kittery Foreside has a personal connection to the Save Our Bridges campaign. “I walk, bike, and drive over the bridges multiple times every day,” says Savoie. “Without these bridges, there will be no way for pedestrians to cross back and forth. The opportunity to design this new website was one more way I could show support for something that means so much to me and our community.”

"The community spans the Piscataqua River. Kittery and Portsmouth form this single collection of city, town, and surrounding area. The bridges are the critical link for us,” states Benjamin Porter, founder of the group.

“The Memorial Bridge is the link between Kittery and Portsmouth. The Long Bridge supports the shipyard for both rail and commuting workers. Loss of either would have a drastic affect on the community,” says Porter. “The web site is dedicated to maintaining these linkages. This will be a multi year effort. We will continue to inform everyone."
