Economy The Chamber’s theme of “within thriving distance” is designed to attract people to the Monadnock region. The city needs to become part of that effort, attracting more students to area colleges, making sure students have internships locally and encouraging young people to make their lives here. Infrastructure / Transportation The city needs an infrastructure that accommodates economic vitality and additional housing downtown. The city needs to be prepared to partner with developers to create multi-use parking-storefront-apartment development in the city’s center. Housing Jay has brought our housing needs to the State House and been appointed to the New Hampshire Housing Stabilization Committee.
