Number of participants: 3 - 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. - These responses are mainly in reference to Peterborough and surrounding towns. - The Hannah Grimes Center is an amazing resource for entrepreneurs and initiatives like Monadnock Buy Local help to raise awareness of the important place local businesses have in our economy and in our lives. |

Number of participants: 10 - Low speed internet is a big challenge. Bad roads are a challenge - 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". - not for my business - A little bit of a challenge. - I don't know. I work from my home. - A little bit of a challenge in peterborough - particularly in the support of telecommunters who might otherwise find our town attractive. - Roads are not always in the greatest shape....... - I don't know - Parking. We need a multi-level parking garage and less street parking like Portsmouth. |

Number of participants: 10 - No, not a serious challenge - 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" - not for us - Not a serious challenge. - I have had no issues with getting licenses. - A moderately serious challenge, particularly because there is not a clear, inclusive vision informing them. - The byzantine regulatory system for hospitality -related businesses is daunting in "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire. Absolutely archaic. - Once you know the system they aren't - but until you do they definitely are. - IDK |

Number of participants: 3 - Better internet - 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. - In outlying towns like mine, the availability of reliable internet service is severely lacking and a huge detriment to folks looking to do business of any kind. Also, the drug crisis in our area makes it virtually impossible to keep employees, especially in the hospitality industry. |

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. |
