| Hello/Intro Economy Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. In this program: a look at NH's economic Outlook for 2005. While New England as a whole is expected to "lag" behind the rest of the nation, NH's is forecasted to have "strong"growth for 2005. The state's latest Labor Report shows Employment is UP-- The unemployment rate is declining -- and Personal income is on the Rise. All indications that the local economy is on the mend. Here to talk about the STATE of the state's Economy: Stuart Arnett, NH's Economic Development Director, Ross Gittell, Professor of Management with the UNH Whittemore School of Business & Economics, and Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research. Welcome! Q Ross Gittell: You're quoted as saying that NH is the ONLY state "above" the US average in terms of economic growth. WHY is that? Q NH's economy as a whole doing well. Let's break it down into regions. We'll start with the SEACOAST, Once a shining star. Are things still looking as bright for the Seacoast in 2005? STU? |
| Belknap Return to index of stories... |
Let's take the LAKES Region. Heard an intresting statistic about Belknap county. According to research by a group called PolEcon: Belknap County is described as the FASTEST-growing county in the state. and, one of the fastest growing counties in New England Q So, what's happening in Belknap county? |
| Laconia Return to index of stories... |
An outfit called POLICOM CORP out of Florida put together an Economic Strength Rating -- and the LAKES region gets HIGH grades. LACONIA -- placed 5th BEST out of 600 "micro-politan" communities in the country. The group defines micro-politans -- as communities with at least one urbanized area with a population between 10 and 50- thousand. |
| Lakes Retirement Return to index of stories... |
The book "Retirement Places Rated" -- suggests the LAKES AREA has grown in size and quality. It ranks the Lake Winnepausaukee area: 8TH out of 203 retirment areas in 40 states. Hanover was ranked 15th. Q ROSS/STU: Consistent with your findings and economic DATA.? |
| Seacoast Housing Return to index of stories... |
Let's talk Housing, a big part of the economic Picture. Here's a snapshot of the Seacoast Housing Market. A 3-bedroom home across from commercial property in Portsmouth would have cost you 150-thousand dollars back in 2000. 3-years later -- that same home would sell for 250-thousand dollars. An increase of 67-percent in 3 years. In the Merrimack Valley -- specifically Concord - the state's capital. The average price of a single family home in 2000: 134-thousand dollars. In 2003 - that figure shot up to 199-thousand dollars. If you travel NORTH to Berlin for example. The average price of a single-family home was in the mid-50's back in 2000. 3-years later, that same home would cost you around 67-thousand dollars. Interest Rates are a BIG part of the Housing equation. The Federal Reserve has just RAISED interest rates by one-quarter of one percent. It's the 6th rate hike since last June, and it may not be the last. Analysts think the Fed will push the funds rate up in similar increments through most of this year. Q What's that likely to do to NH's Housing Market? |
| Intro Voice & Vision Return to index of stories... |
On the Seacoast, the Portsmouth Poet Laureate Program is working to connect the community through ART -- thanks to it's new "Voice and Vision" program. Twelve poets and visual artists were selected to work as pairs to produce joint works of art, expanding their creative process beyond the boundaries of their own art form. Chip Neal was there when the finished works were first introduced to the public. |
