UNH Extension is working with NH cities and towns to move toward economic recovery. While things are uncertain, it is important to look to the future and plan for community and economic resilience. We are offering initiatives around economic recovery and resilience for community leaders and volunteers, municipal officials, small businesses, economic development professionals and those interested in economic recovery.
