After my note to my Associates yesterday about it being the time to act now one of them, John Howe, wrote the following:

 

“Are you open to opportunity?

 

This is a great time to get going on your business dreams, particularly if they involve living in New Hampshire.

 

Our company president Leon Parker issued a memo with several excellent reasons why buyers should act now.

 

Opportunities come and go. Some see them and act on them. Others, ignore or miss them. Visible to you or not, the chance to be successful is there.

 

A few years ago a business man drove along a barren stretch of highway in Tilton, N.H. Off on the side was a little For Sale sign. Across the road was a large line of paving equipment vehicles. Ahead was a simple highway interchange.

 

Long story shortened, the end result was the first of what would become one of many developments that has turned the Exit 20 area of Interstate 93 into one of the busiest retail and business centers in New Hampshire. I have been told that a gasoline station operated by a large chain in that area consistently reports some of the biggest daily sales in the state from that location.

 

Someone saw an opportunity, not just open land.

 

Several recent news developments add fuel to the notion that now is a good time for business, and that New Hampshire is a great place to be. One is the fact New Hampshire remains among the top ten for business tax climates in the nation. The other is the fact housing costs in New Hampshire remain affordable compared to other New England states.
