The PVA will be working starting this fall with the UNH Extension and their Community Business Engagement Program (CBE). The program is designed to help understand needs, challenges, and opportunities for local businesses, identify key insights, strengthen business community connections and communication, and implement actionable strategies to strengthen our local economy. The end product would be UNH creating a project report with actionable items identifying opportunities and obstacles, along with assistance on how to carry it forward.
As the City is about to embark on writing its new Master Plan, the PVA feels the timing is right for the CBE, as valuable input could be gained and used in the Master Plan.
There is a $3,000 fee involved to engage UNH, so we're asking for your support to help cover these costs. Your donation will help carry forward this project, which will help our local businesses and economy. Thank you!
