Steve Duprey, president of Concord-based The Duprey Companies and a former New Hampshire Republican National Committeeman, is Gov. Christopher Sununu’s pick to chair the Pease Development Authority board of directors.
Duprey, confirmed by the governor’s Executive Council on March 9, succeeds Kevin Smith, who resigned his role as PDA chair in February, as well as his job as town manager in Londonderry, to campaign full time as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Maggie Hassan. “I think the reason Chris asked me to do it is I think I’m known for common sense, and I think I have a reputation for listening well, to all sides of the debate, and trying my best to find common ground wherever you can,” said Duprey.
His first meeting as chairman will be the board’s regular monthly session on Thursday, April 21.
