Economic Development

During the week of Oct. 25, senior data analyst Rachel Dewey worked on data gathering and analysis for a market study for the Explore Moose Mountains (EMM) group. This resource is being completed for the grassroots tourism initiative as they start the process of strategic planning, supported by a USDA Rural Development grant.  

This study covers demographic data for the seven-town region, in addition to tourism data for the larger lakes region. The information will help set the scene for current conditions in the region as the group brainstorms and plans for its future. 

Follow along with all things going on in the EMM region via The Moose, NH Facebook and Instagram pages.
