Clip from “Communities & Consequences”

jchilds — Fri, 25 May 2012 17:02:03 +0000

Examines the “human ecology” of NH, and the fact that NH (and other New England states), are aging more rapidly than the rest of the country. This trend threatens the sustainability of a future highly educated workforce for NH. The film investigates how decisions made at the state and local level have contributed to this unbalancing of our human ecology and the roles employers, housing developers, conservationists, planning boards, and the University System among others can play in encouraging young people to stay in NH for college and after college, or consider coming to NH as a place to live, work and play.

The University continues to find ways to leverage this powerful film to wider audiences.

PORTSMOUTH, NH – The Savings Bank of Maine, a 177-year old bank with more than 30 branches throughout Maine, recently rebranded as The Bank of Maine and JBC Communications recently signed on to assist with its internal messaging.
