Number of participants: 6 - I selected I don't have an opinion because I felt I don't know enough about our plans economic development plans to have an educated opinion. I feel we need to do a better job of getting that information out to the average person. - At the local level, I do not feel those working in the government/municipalities consider those running and owning business - These responses are mainly in reference to Peterborough and surrounding towns. - I don't see CED at a policy level. - I think there are a lot of people and groups in the area who would like to help small business, they just do not know how to, or have no clear direction how to. - Most economic and civic development is hindered by a strong local attitude of "Not in my back yard." |

Number of participants: 4 - Hard to find opportunity to expand business within the area. Only opportunity to make money comes from out of state and manufacture product in P'boro. - No parking - 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. - As an employer of 20-25 seasonal workers, I support a higher minimum wage, mandatory sick leave, and employer-funded single payer health care! |

Number of participants: 5 - High speed internet throughout the region - especially in small towns outside of Keene - Very difficult to find help. High rents and cost of living make it hard for new workers to come to the area. The area needs more affordable housing and local government needs to recognize this challenge. - Faster, more reliable Internet - Accessibility - 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. |
