Number of participants: 2 - At the local level, I do not feel those working in the government/municipalities consider those running and owning business - Most economic and civic development is hindered by a strong local attitude of "Not in my back yard." |

Number of participants: 6 - Not serious - Not a serious challenge. Comcast is available in downtown, office space is affordable enough. - Parking.

Number of participants: 3 - 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. - We tend to operate within whatever the constraints of whatever the circumstances. - 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: 5 - More internships needed, more people need to stay in Keene, more shoppers need to support local businesses. - 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. - Competitive internet and telecom services. We are not in the immediate metropolitan area. - Not to my knowledge - 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. |
