Investments to Sustain a Vibrant Economy

NHFPI’s Sixth Annual Conference will examine the state economy and highlight key areas within the state budget where investments can enhance the health and well-being of New Hampshire residents.

The conference keynote will address economic indicators for New England’s regional economy and key takeaways New Hampshire should consider as the state strives to maintain a strong economy in the years ahead.

NHFPI presentations will discuss the state budget and funding for public services, including state revenue trends, the current surplus, and what we might expect from state revenues going forward. Presentations will also review state demographic and income data, and outline indicators of how New Hampshire residents are faring in the economy.

The conference panel discussion will address progress and opportunities in the areas of health, housing, education, and workforce supports. Topics will include: ongoing efforts to address the opioid crisis, the new ten-year mental health plan, health care access and delivery, and child welfare; education and initiatives to bolster workforce development; the housing market and opportunities to enhance the development of more affordable housing; and access to affordable child care and paid leave, which aid care givers in maintaining employment and contributing to the state’s workforce and economy.

Join New Hampshire business, nonprofit, and community leaders, policymakers and policy experts, and engaged residents as we explore current needs, future goals, and policy solutions that will help to sustain a vibrant economy that benefits all Granite Staters.
