BIA of NH
2020 BIA Forum on Workforce Housing
Thursday, November 12, 2020 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM EST
Available housing for working people in New Hampshire continues to impact economic growth and make it more difficult for employers to recruit and retain talent. In fact, if anything, the COVID-19 pandemic, which has slowed construction, has further constricting housing supply in many parts of the state leading to higher prices. BIA will be taking a closer look at the issue, legislative activity, and creative solutions that some communities and businesses are pursuing.
Our 2020 Housing Forum panelists are:
Mark Fougere, owner, Fougere Planning & Development
Chris Norwood, president, NAI Norwood Group
Chris Parker, assistant city manager, City of Dover
Elissa Margolin, executive director, Housing Action NH
John Randolph, co-owner, Harmony Homes
Margaret Randolph, co-owner, Harmony Homes
This webinar is made possible with generous financial support from the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority.
This webinar is no cost to BIA members, BIA Capitol Connect members, and partner members but registration is required. The registration fee for non-members is $25 or you may apply for BIA membership today and receive all the benefits, including access to all webinars for no cost.
