Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to tonight's Roundtable edition of New Hampshire Outlook. We begin tonight with a summary of state news. |
| Pease/port Return to index of stories... |
Governor Jeanne Shaheen has taken the first step toward linking the management of the Pease International Tradeport to the New Hampshire Port Authority. While Pease is enormously successful, the nearby port is struggling with no permanent director, no terminal operator and no business. Yesterday, the governor nominated William Bartlett to another term as chairman of the Pease Development Authority and member of the port authority's governing board. |
| Winter Tourism Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire travel officials have prepared a winter tourism forecast full of good news, IF the weather cooperates. Given a manageable amount of snow, the Division of Travel and Tourism predicts visitors to the state will increase five percent this winter.Too little or too much of the white stuff could cause a major drop in tourists.Officials also expect winter spending to top 725 million dollars - a six percent increase over last year. |
| Half-Way House Return to index of stories... |
Some Nashua residents are concerned about plans to open a house for federal prisoners in a downtown neighborhood. One alderman says it doesn't makes sense to put prisoners in an area that already has the highest crime rate in the city. Residents say the half-way house would damage revitalization efforts and lower property values. Nashua's zoning board will look at those plans next month. |
| Hotel E-Bay Return to index of stories... |
Selling a hotel on-line? Sounds like a crazy idea but that is exactly what Gaye Dean of Dover is trying to do. Carabella's Hotel and Restaurant is among some 60 businesses for sale on the auction site, e-Bay. Dean has received some interest but no bids yet. Should she get a minimum bid, the deal would not be sealed. Widely varying real estate laws mean the site offers only a way for agents to meet potential buyers. |
| Wal-Mart Return to index of stories... |
Wal-Mart has been trying to build a superstore in Plymouth for the last two years. Now it's going to court to press its plans. An organization called Heater Road L-L-C agreed to sell the super store 29 acres of land, but last month backed out of the deal. Wal-Mart has asked a court to block the company from selling the land to anyone else and force it to follow through on the initial agreement. Wal-Mart estimates it would take about eight months to build its store. |
| 9-1-1 Hero Return to index of stories... |
A four-year-old Boscawen boy was recognized today as a hero at the nine-one-one center in Concord. Emergency officials say Sean Sweeney dialed nine-one-one after his mother collapsed. An ambulance was dispatched to the house where he and three other small children were when his mother had a gall bladder attack. Heidi Sweeney says she's been teaching Sean about nine-one-one for a year. |
