6th annual infrastructure summit

My first infrastructure summit was very inspiring. Being involved in planning in Derry and being a southern nh planning commisioner gave me great insight as to planning infrastructure not only in Derry but with neighbors like Londonderry, Chester, Auburn, Windham, Manchester. The meeting really made some great points of where we were 30 years ago and where we are today. What was really funny was looking at pictures of the airport terminal in 1961 ( little old shack ) then 1993 and then today. We have made great improvements! Now we also spoke of Rte 93 widening, The bridge from Rte 3 to the airport and also spoke of Derry's positive new steps in Economic Dev. ( TIFF). We also had a great key speaker who with outside eyes told us we need to think more as a one New england state and work together in many aspects to compete on a regional level. Housing- Rail Service-Airports-Roadways-Energy costs-Businesses-Jobs-Education. We have an opportunity to do great things, however we need to think outside of the box and put our collective heads together. It was a very inspiring meeting and one that I enjoyed.One things for sure, we need to make the right decisions for our own society.
