I was recently asked to be part of a panel discussion for a group whose objective included obtaining a better understanding of the New Hampshire business environment and to discuss what could be done to foster business, jobs and economic growth.

Questions such as:

1. How would you characterize the current business-jobs-economic climate in
   New Hampshire?



2. What is your business forecast for the 2011 calendar year and why? What are
   your biggest concerns?




3. What modifications to current statutes and rules, if any, do you believe would
   benefit the NH business community?




4. And more.

All good questions that I am certain will be answered differently dependant upon one’s own situation. Clearly, there is growing concern that the State of New Hampshire must find a long-term sustainable solution to continuing budget pressures and deficits.

I would enjoy hearing from you regarding your thoughts to the questions posed above.
