economic development

Local governments are facing a number of fiscal challenges and a fair amount of economic uncertainty in having to develop the next annual budget. Inflation remains at a 40-year high, with the cost of capital projects and even routine service delivery increasing and supply chain issues continuing. The current labor market has compelled governments to increase salaries to remain competitive, which in turn puts upward pressures on the operating budget. Rising interest rates are limiting the ability of municipalities to issuing taxable bonds or perhaps enter into lease purchases agreements.

Join us in this informational session hosted by U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and the New Hampshire Municipal Association to learn more about the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, historic legislation signed into law last year that invests in our nation’s core infrastructure priorities – including roads and bridges, rail, transit, ports, airports, the electric grid, water systems and broadband.
