Everyone knows New Hampshire faces serious infrastructure issues (see Quick Facts). Years of neglect and poor planning have caused our roadways and bridges to become some of the worst in the country. Not only on our congested interstates like I-93, but also on the thousands of miles of crumbling rural roads and hundreds of structurally deficient bridges like the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth.

New Hampshire’s infrastructure strains go beyond just transportation. Energy costs have skyrocketed as our electric grid can barely keep up with demand. This issue, along with our roads, has caused New Hampshire to lose its competitive edge when attracting new businesses and new jobs. Unless we make significant changes in our course and direction, our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate and a real opportunity to restore New Hampshire’s economy will be lost. We deserve better.

In sum, New Hampshire must embark on a new mission—one that requires leadership and vision from our elected leaders. To achieve this we will need a bipartisan alliance of New Hampshire leaders who believe we can achieve anything, can build anything, and can do anything we put our minds to—and who will in turn, convince our citizens that this course is not an option but a necessity to preserve our future strength and success.
