“It’s simply more efficient to have the entire staff of Neighborhood News Inc. working together in one location,” according to Amy J. Vellucci, publisher and president of NNI, which publishes the Observer, The Bedford Bulletin, The Goffstown News, The Hooksett Banner, The Bow Times, The Manchester Mirror and The Concord Mirror.

“The Observer’s commitment to our readers and advertisers in Salem, Windham and Pelham remains steadfast, as our editorial and sales staff will continue to spend the majority of their time in these communities. Customers and readers can continue to expect the same level of service they’ve always received,” said Vellucci.
