Economic Development

On a state level, transportation is a significant driver of the local economy. The highway network continues to be the primary support of the transportation movement of goods and services in the state of New Hampshire. Additionally, whether people or goods travel by automobile, truck, train, bicycle, foot, snowmobile or other means, bridges are necessary to provide crossing of rivers, railroads and other roads. Construction of roads and bridges creates jobs, and the maintenance and support of them helps people get to work, to recreational activities, to churches and schools and directly impacts our quality of life.
