| Hello/Intro Commute Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. There's only about 4 weeks to go until Democrats converge on Boston for the 2004 Democratic National Convention at the FleetCenter. New Hampshire commuters should prepare for gridlock if heading into the city. The Secret Service has ordered a stretch of I-93 north and south of Boston closed during the late afternoon and evening hours between July 26-th and July 29-th. The Secret Service also says all vehicles in downtown Boston will be subject to searches during the event. Despite warnings that traffic could be a nightmare, a new poll of 500 Massachusetts voters released Tuesday by the Boston Herald found 44-percent of drivers in Massachusetts say they plan to follow their normal commuting pattern that week. While 47-percent of those polled said they will avoid the FleetCenter area altogether. Just 8-percent plan to use public transportation -- and the poll found not a single driver plans to car pool. To find out what these disruptions mean to New Hampshire commuters, producer Phil Vaughn hopped aboard the Downeaster with a commuter from Exeter. |

Another recent survey about the convention could spell good news for New Hampshire tourism officials. According to a survey by travel retailer "Vacation Outlet" 77-percent of greater Boston residents polled say they are likely to take a trip to "avoid" the D-N-C. The state Division of Travel and Tourism Development has launched a "Head North" campaign in hopes of encouraging folks in Massachusetts to vacation here in New Hampshire rather than face potential convention headaches. Joining us now to talk about the campaign is Lauri Klefos, the Director of the New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development. Q LAURI: So, we know they'll be a mass exodus of Baystaters from Boston during convention week. The challenge: Getting them to COME to NH. What's the GAME PLAN? |

Q You've got some very clever ads enticing Baystaters to NH. PICTURE: massive traffic jam. caption: 4,322 delegates, 15-thousand journalists, one LONG week. -- Let's take a look at another: PICTURE: Empty road caption: Not a delegate in sight. -- short drive away. PICTURE: Jam-packed T with unhappy faces. caption: "One if by land, two if by sea, A million or so by the T" Lauri: Where did these ads run? Q What kind of money did you have for the campaign? Q What was the STRATEGY behind the campaign.when did you roll out the campaign? Q You've also launched INTERNET ads touting Granite State as the "perfect escape" from the convention. Are RESERVATIONS up for NH getaway places? Hotels, Motels, B&B's for the last week of July? Q NH Travel and Tourism office has laid the groundwork -- Have hotels, and restaurants and attractions come thru with special CONVENTION packages? Special packages or discounts people should know about? Q Tourism is the state's 2nd largest Industry. Any PROJECTIONS for the summer with or without the D-N-C? Q What are the most popular NH destinations this time of year? Beaches? Q Do you solicit feedback from visitors to find out WHY they chose NH? What do they tell you? Q In the event NH is INUNDATED with Baystaters -- any hints on where Granite Stater's can go -- to avoid the CROWDS? Q NH's best kept secrets -- as far as tourist destinations go? |
| Intro Colebrook Return to index of stories... |
A town in northern New Hampshire is taking steps this week that they hope will put them on the map when it comes to wireless communication in the state. The small community of Colebrook-- on the Vermont border-- is kicking off a wireless demonstration project. Currently, most businesses and individuals in town are on on a dial-up connection for the Internet. But, beginning Wednesday hardware is being installed in various locations in town-- including Town Hall, the First Colebrook Bank, the town's high school-- Colebrook Academy. The equipment will enable those spots to provide broadband connectivity. The wireless demonstration experiment is a collaboration involving Third Rail Wireless Solutions out of Nashua, the town of Colebrook and the Colebrook Development Corporation. If all goes well it should be up and running by Friday. No taxpayer funds are involved for the test -- and service during the demonstration project will be free of charge. If the experiment is a success, wireless broadband will become available to everyone in Colebrook at what the town expects to be an affordable rate. |

AP-MA--Democratic Convention-Hotline Boston sets up phone line to answer convention questions -- The city of Boston is setting up a telephone call center with a dedicated phone number to handle questions about next month's Democratic National Convention. Mayor Tom Menino unveiled "Info 2004" today. Questions about traffic restrictions and other related issues can be directed to city staff with specific knowledge of convention plans. The phone center will initially be staffed daily from nine-to-five, although hours may be expanded and phone center capacity increased as the convention nears. The service is available from now through the convention, which runs July 26th through July 29th. The number to call is 617-635-2004. The city also has a companion Web site at www.CityofBoston.gov/Info2004. During the unveiling of the service, Menino criticized media coverage about convention disruptions as overly negative. |
