Number of participants: 3 - 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. - 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. - 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: 9 - Yes, we have poor technology and transportation in our region. Also need to build our local food system - byt that I don't mean build bigger local farms but help support more small farms. - 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! - not for my business - A little bit of a challenge. Mostly roads and bridges needing repair. - Roads are not always in the greatest shape....... - not a serious challenge - Not a serious challenge - I'm uncertain as to the scope of this question. - accessing affordable housing for (potential) employees is difficult |

Number of participants: 9 - Yes, permits in Keene a huge barrier - Not a serious challenge - not for us - A moderately serius challenge. Town permitting and code enforcement can be overwhelming and confusing. - The byzantine regulatory system for hospitality -related businesses is daunting in "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire. Absolutely archaic. - not a serious challenge - local town works with us - A little bit of a challenge - Not to my knowledge are licenses and permits a challenge - fees for very small scale businesses can be a deterrent |

Number of participants: 4 - High speed internet throughout the region - especially in small towns outside of Keene - 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. - Competitive internet and telecom services. We are not in the immediate metropolitan area. - Not to my knowledge |
