What do those of us who live and work here in New Hampshire want for the future of our communities?  How can we keep what we value, meet the challenges of changing demographics, and increase economic vitality and opportunity?

These are the kinds of questions at the heart of A Granite State Future.  This project, coordinated by the State’s nine regional planning commissions (RPCs), is a local and regional dialogue among businesses and non-profit organizations, governmental agencies and voters, newcomers and long-term residents to consider the critical question: how should we plan for the future?
