Number of participants: 4 - I don't feel we are aggressively pursuing the outside companies needed to inject economic energy in this region. We are woefully behind the rest of NH in terms of leadership. We are not getting it from the Chamber, the Council or private citizens. We talk constantly. I am concerned that the new City Manager has no understanding of the severity of what we are facing. I am concerned that we just handed off to "Med" leadership of this initiative when it is one of a multitude of tasks he is being asked to manage. He or someone should be doing this full time. This is not a part time issue! It requires full time focus and leadership. It is not happening in this region. I am saddened by the lack of leadership coming out of the Mayor's office. He is the king of more and more meetings. We need to put a dynamic, experienced individual in charge of this priority. - This region has been economically stagnant at best since the late 1990s. The reality is bsiiness and industry have left the region and relocated elsewhere or simply ceased operations. The region is a wonderful place to call home but it it's very difficult to find gainful employment that provides an ocome to afford the cost of living here. - These responses are mainly in reference to Peterborough and surrounding towns. - Most economic and civic development is hindered by a strong local attitude of "Not in my back yard." |

Number of participants: 6 - A little bit of a challenge. I would like another option for high speed internet in addition to Comcast. Public transportation - the Greyhound bus goes through Peterborough but does not stop! - I biggest problem is Skilled Labor. I do not believe that is "Infrastructure. So, I am going to answer, "I don't know". - Yes. Everything is expensive in the North East, including building and maintaining. - A little bit of a challenge. Mostly roads and bridges needing repair. - A little bit of a challenge in peterborough - particularly in the support of telecommunters who might otherwise find our town attractive. - A huge challenge. We have vary lovely buildings and streets the biggest issue is proper maintenance and lack of |

Number of participants: 6 - Not a serious challenge - it is a constant refrain over the past 20 years, that the city of Keene is impossible to work with on a timely basis. Is that true or fair? My impression is that it is getting better, that the city of Keene is listening and attempting to work with people. So, I will answer: " A little bit of a Challenge" - Takes time, but can be done. - A moderately serius challenge. Town permitting and code enforcement can be overwhelming and confusing. - A moderately serious challenge, particularly because there is not a clear, inclusive vision informing them. - Not a serious challenge. |

Number of participants: 1 - the largest challenge our area faces is a lack of skilled workers. most young people with a skill that where raised in NH will leave the state because they will be paid more for the same job. |

Number of participants: 2 - I am a huge fan of downtown. But let's stop putting all our energy into "improving downtown". Instead, focus on bringing in new businesses. - Infrastructure is the single greatest challenge our area faces. our area has some of the slowest internet and spotty Cell service in the nation. More important than Infrastructure there in effectively no public transportation to or from our area and the surrounding communities or states. |

Number of participants: 1 - Colleges: We need KSC to succeed in Keene. I am a huge fan. There recent failures saddens me. Their past two Presidents delivered nothing on behalf of the school or the city. So frustrating that Mayor Lane was banging the drum for both when it was obvious just how weak they were as leaders. And it didn't take the PF to realize it. Let's hope Treadwell is the answer. |
