Number of participants: 2 - 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. |

Number of participants: 17 - i don't know - 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. - Takes time, but can be done. - I don't know. - A moderately serious challenge. - NO - I have had no issues with getting licenses. - A moderately serious challenge, particularly because there is not a clear, inclusive vision informing them. - not a serious challenge - local town works with us - No, I get licensing through the state of NH, and it is affordable. - IDK - Not a serious challenge - Not to my knowledge are licenses and permits a challenge - fees for very small scale businesses can be a deterrent |

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. |
