Business Commission Listens to Chamber Members
Chamber Rep Serves On the Commission to Study Business Regulations
This fall, Chamber members had the
opportunity to suggest improvements
to the state’s business regulations.
This opportunity arose through
the Commission to Study Business
Regulations in New Hampshire, which
was formed by legislation (House
Bill 248) supported by the Chamber
during the 2011 legislative session. The
Commission is charged with reviewing
the state’s business regulations as
they relate to labor, the environment
and construction/permitting. The
commission is also charged with
identifying potential reforms that
could be developed into legislation
during the 2012 and 2013 sessions. Will
Stewart, Vice President of Economic
Development and Advocacy, serves as
the Chamber’s representative on the
Commission.
“The Chamber is pleased to represent
the interests and viewpoints of our
members on this commission,” said
President and CEO Robin Comstock. “We
often hear from our members regarding
state regulations and this is a great
opportunity to address their concerns
and improve the state’s business climate.”
All Chamber businesses were invited
to submit, via email and an online
survey, any regulatory changes they
wished to see made. These suggested
changes, along with those suggested by
members of other business organizations
represented on the Commission, were
then studied by the Commission’s two
subcommittees. These subcommittees
(one studying labor/workforce
regulations, the other studying
environmental and construction/
permitting regulations) were first tasked
with identifying any “low-hanging
fruit,” i.e. those regulations which can
be addressed simply. These quick fixes
will be introduced via bills in the New
Hampshire House of Representatives in
January, 2012.
The proposed legislation includes
eliminating the requirement for
businesses to file safety plans and
operate joint loss committees, which
can be burdensome and difficult to
administer, especially for small business
owners. It also requires economic
impacts through cost/benefit analysis
for any state building code adoptions
or amendments. The legislation aims
to slow the adoption process for new
editions of the national model building
codes so that there is adequate time to
consider ramifications of the new codes
and their impact on construction costs
and the public interest. It also removes
the authority to adopt new editions to
the statewide building code from the
Building Code Review Board (BCRB)
and give it to the Legislature. Currently
the BCRB can adopt and implement
new codes that must be ratified by
the Legislature within two years. The
BCRB would retain the authority to
adopt amendments which would still
need ratification. It will continue to
allow towns and cities to adopt stricter
codes but require a demonstration of
need or, alternatively, relief in zoning
or regulatory requirements to offset
any additional costs over the statewide
code. Finally, it will adopt the Federal
Clean Air Standards in favor of the
current New Hampshire Air Toxics
Control Program, which is a considerably
higher standard.
The Commission found that further
study is needed on some issues, such
as worker classification (designation of
an individual as either an employee or
an independent contractor), workers
compensation, the regulation of
above-ground oil storage tanks and
the definition of recyclable material
as it concerns hazardous waste. These
issues and others will be studied by
work groups in the coming year, with
recommended regulation changes to be
published as part of the Commission’s
final report, which is due by the end
of October, 2012. The recommended
regulation changes to these more
complicated issues will likely be
introduced in the 2013 legislative
session.
Chamber Rolls Out Green Pledge Program
Chamber Members Encouraged to Tout Green Business Practices
In these challenging economic times,
going green makes more sense than
ever. Not only do conservation efforts
save money, but businesses that
employ such efforts enjoy an enhanced
reputation among customers and
employees, which in turn can boost
revenue. To help members share
their businesses’ commitment to the
environment, the Chamber’s Green
Committee is happy to announce the
Green Pledge.
The Green Pledge program allows
Chamber members to gauge, via a
questionnaire, their business’s current
implementation of green practices and
to get ideas for additional sustainable
business practices that help both the
environment and the business’s bottom
line. After submitting the questionnaire,
member’s will have an opportunity to
showcase their green initiatives with
members of the Green Committee, who
will visit the business to observe green
practices, which can then be shared
with other Chamber members.
easily shared with customers and clients.
Those businesses meeting the Green
Pledge criteria will receive a Green
Business decal for their window or door,
as well as electronic version for their
website. As a Green Business, members
will also be designated as such on the
Chamber website, the region’s go-to
online business directory. Likewise, all
Green Business recipients will receive a
green ribbon cutting ceremony, which
makes for a great photo-op that can be
To gauge your business’s current
implementation of green practices and
to get ideas for additional sustainable
business practices, complete and
return the Green Pledge questionnaire,

as of January 1st) along with a $100
processing fee, to Greater Manchester

As we all know, where goes downtown so
goes the larger community. A downtown
is reflective of the character, priorities
and values of a community, and at the
same time it is the heartbeat and very
soul of a city, and even a village. A vibrant
downtown is one of the key attractions to
businesses considering a move to a new
location. A healthy mixed use of residents,
retail, dining and entertainment create the
hum of activity that make a downtown
dance. And make no mistake, the schools,
the arts, culture, preserved and protected
history, public space, bike paths, parks,
and the overall cleanliness and perception
of safety as well as the character and
quality of the public institutions are
equally as powerful indicators of the
offerings of an extraordinary downtown.
Manchester is all of those things to locals
and visitors alike. A beautifully preserved
historic central business district with
as many choices for
activities as a city
many times its size.
Because of this fact,
Manchester is able
to attract and keep
strong employers who
offer good jobs and
contribute to a vital
community.
In fact, the first of November saw
six ribbon cuttings in one hour for
new downtown businesses opening
their doors on Elm Street. The word
is out to entrepreneurs—Manchester
is a terrific place to start and run a
business. And given that we are home
to the headquarters of our state’s major
businesses, we have the customers of
these new businesses working side-byside along elm Street and the Millyard,
which combined, create our state’s largest
commercial district.
We began our full hour of ribbon cuttings
at 36 deLux on Lowell Street, an urbanchic contemporary restaurant. The
modifications to Richard’s Bistro created
a fresh environment where both the
atmosphere and cuisine are exquisite. We
then made our way around the corner
to the new Mill Town Market, a beautiful
and funky downtown market featuring
quality foods and products including fresh
produce, exceptional pastries and takeout meals that are not to be missed.
We then made our way to Vino Aromas
a few doors down. This incredible wine
shop offers wine tastings and a large
selection of retail products. Here I tasted
my first red-wine-brule, never in my life
have I had such an extraordinary sip of
wine. The atmosphere is beautiful, and
there are tables scattered throughout the
room so that you can sample wines while
munching on your favorite appetizers
with your friends. Truly a full-experience
wine tasting like no other that is not to be
missed.
The next stop was Dos Amigo Burritos,
where you encounter food choices only
found south of the border, in a fun colorful
setting with a collection of booths and
tables for the professional on the run, or
the after work crowd who wants to enjoy
one another and the atmosphere.
We then made a quick stop at
Appcessories, where you can have your
favorite gadget, be it an iPad, lap-top or
net book repaired and serviced between
your meetings or while at lunch.
The hour of multiple ribbon cuttings
was drawn to a close with a stop at the
new chocolate maker, Dancing Lion
Chocolatier; the fragrance so subtle and
so enticing of rich handmade chocolates
served in a beautiful French bistro
atmosphere was the highlight of the
afternoon. Do not miss this experience;
you will thank me after you have had your
first piece of chocolate from the hands of
this culinary artist.
All of this in one lunch-hour and even
more to come. An Italian pastry shop
is soon opening up on Elm, and in
September a top-shelf, chic and trendy
woman’s clothing store, Statement
opened on Hanover, the clothes are
unique and beautiful. Finally is the
new ticket center the Palace Theater
is opening, a beautiful
enhancement to the
downtown inventory.
If you haven’t been
downtown in a while, you’ll
find you don’t have to go
to Boston for an incredible
night on the town. I hope that
you will use the holidays as a good reason
to visit downtown Manchester. Plan on a
visit to the Currier Museum and Millyard
Museum, take the kids to the See Science
Center, go shopping, have an incredible
dinner, and end the night with a show
at the Palace Theater. You won’t believe
how much fun is to be had in downtown
Manchester until you’ve experienced it for
yourself!
However you choose to celebrate the
holidays, and whatever your traditions
to honor, I hope you will make time
to experience the Queen City. Happy
Holidays!
