New England States have joined together to Stimulate our local regional economy.
All YOU have to do is join the campaign to be a part of the New England "10% shift"
The 10% Shift is a campaign of the New England Local Business Forum (NELBF), a coalition of local business organizations across New England that are working to build vibrant local economies.
It only takes a very small change in the way you allocate your purchases in 2009!
Did you know that if just 10% of us shifted 10 % of our budget, it could translate to millions of dollars being invested in New England in 2009? Another side effect of buying local is that it will reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustainability in our local communities. It also will strengthen the economic outlook of the Eastern Region.
If you live in New England, you can begin to make the 10% shift by attending the Made in New Hampshire Expo, where you can find hundreds of local products. The theme for 2009 is "Buy Local" "Try It & Buy It" Those who attend can sample and buy products made in the Granite State... wine, fine arts, fashion and unique specialty foods!
Get more information and directions to the 14th Annual Made in New Hampshire expo.
In addition to all of the local business and goods there will be entertainment:
If you do not in on the East Coast check to see if the businesses and citizens in your state are participating in the "10% shift" ... feel free to leave a link below.

One of my first posts on Active Rain was an embarrassing story about how I am directionally challenged!
Thanks to my friends here on Active Rain, I purchased a GPS, a Garmin® Nuvi. I named my Nuvi "Greenie" because she helps me save money and find my way all around New Hampshire and beyond!
I must admit however, that I have a talent for getting lost even with Greenie. You see in the "live free or die" state, there are a lot of roads without signs! To make things even more challenging, all the small New Hampshire towns name their streets the same names; so at times you have no idea which town you are in!
Since Greenie was put to work, life has never been sooooo good!
Now, all of a sudden, once again I am seeing gas prices on the rise! I am always on the lookout for little "low cost" easy to implement ways to be more eco-friendly! Garmin® just announced some new features that help! 
Garmin® has a new FREE download called ecoRouteTM which will help you find more fuel efficient routes. You also can track your driving habits and fuel usage over time. You can get detailed reports for each trip and miles driven. This can help save, time, money and the environment. It also can be helpful when you document mileage for tax purposes.
I'm going to download this feature and try it out on my showings tomorrow! I can hardly wait to see how this works!
If you are aware of other GPS systems that have similar features, please feel free to leave a link below.

Nashua to Boston Commuter Rail may be closer to becoming a reality!
The federal economic stimulus package, if passed, coupled with appointment of New Hampshire Senator, Judd Gregg, to the Obama administration may get the plans for commuter rail back on track!
New Hampshire is ready for commuter rail!
The engineering has almost been completed. It may be possible to extend the commuter rail north of Nashua to Manchester and Concord!
George Campbell of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation reported that the Nashua to Boston commuter rail project is "shovel ready." A recent article in the Nashua Telegraph reports that Dave Fink, president of Pan Am Systems, which owns the track estimated that the the work could be completed in about a year if everything else is in place! New Hampshire Business for Transportation and Infrastructure annouced its support.
The New Hampshire legislature has taken the first steps to making commuter rail a reality. A rail authority was established in 2007 and a $75 million liability cap was passed. Steve Williams, executive director of the Nashua Regional Planning Commission pointed out that the rail is already in place for freight and only has to be upgraded.
There are still details to be worked out. Peter Griffin, president of the New Hampshire Rail Revitalization Association, has noted that the idea of commuter rail is becoming more widely accepted. However, there are many who believe that the east - west highways should be improved rather than building a rail system. Another significant challenge is finding a mechanism to provide a subsidy to the rail system.
In my opinion the commuter rail is vital piece to the economic development in Southern New Hampshire. It is the centerpiece of the New Urbanism in the Nashua/Manchester corridor ~~ where people can live in and work in communities without the necessity of driving their cars.
Moreover, a commuter rail system will go a long way toward solving the problem of retaining younger workers in New Hampshire and would bring companies and workers from Massachusetts into Southern New Hampshire. Another obvious benefit is that rail will decrease the need to travel by car and will improve the environment.
What is your opinion ~~ Roads or Rails? What would be the best source of funding for the commuter rail system going into the future?
Find out why Nashua is the best place to live in America.

I specialize in representing buyers in So. New Hampshire. Our ONLY interest is YOUR best interest. Licensed in NH, Buyer's Option Realty - Call 800-269-6445 x2 or email nhbuyerrep@gmail.com
Real Estate Agents are NOT created Equal
Hire a Buyer's Agent to Work for YOU!
I am a Buyer's Agent experienced in representing Buyers ONLY throughout most of Southern New Hampshire. I act as a consultant to the Buyer and look out for the Buyer's best interests. Whether you are a first time Buyer, a repeat Buyer or a Buyer who is relocating, you will benefit from using an exclusive buyer's agent.
Buyer's Option Realty Services does not represent Sellers, therefore Buyers can avoid THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST inherent when a firm or agent represents both buyers and seller in the same transaction.
Please email me at nhbuyerrep@gmail.com and I will explain how working with an exclusive buyer's agent will protect YOUR interests and put you ahead of the competition.
I hold several real estate certifications - ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) CEBA (Certified Exclusive Buyer Agent), e-Pro (internet savvy Realtor) and C-CREC (Consumer oriented real estate agent). I also have have expertise in advanced negotiation and mediation. Before becoming a specialist in representing buyers, I practiced real estate law in California. (although I don't practice law in NH). When moving to NH 11 years ago, I wanted to represent Buyers without the conflicts of interest inherent in representing both buyers and sellers in the same transaction.
From 2004-2008 I served as a director with the Greater Manchester Nashua Board of Realtors; I serve on the Professional Standards Committee, served as sub-chair of GMNBR legal committee 2007-2008 and am a past director of the NH Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents. I am an educator and often participate in seminars to educate consumers about the home buying process.
Hire a buyer agent who specializes in the representation of Buyers Only. Having a buyer's agent on your side will give you a competitive edge.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO SEARCH FOR A HOME , HIRE A BUYER'S AGENT TO WORK IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS. IF YOU DON'T, THE AGENT YOU FIRST CONTACT (E.G., AN OPEN HOUSE OR CALLING A REAL ESTATE AGENT DIRECTLY) MAY CLAIM THAT THE AGENT HAS PROCURED YOU AS THE BUYER AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE BUYER AGENT OF YOUR CHOICE.
Buyer agents have access to the entire Multiple Listing Service. Buyer agents can also represent you in the purcahse of for sale by owner homes. Buyers can save time and minimize risk because excusive buyer agents do NOT represent both buyers and sellers in the same transaction. Buyer agents help you assemble a team of UNBIASED experts to provide the Buyer with the information needed to make an informed decision.

SEE WHAT OTHER'S HAVE TO SAY:
"Even though the Internet gives buyers unprecedented access to home listings, most new buyers (and many more experienced ones) are better off using a professional agent. Look for an exclusive buyer agent, if possible, who will have your interests at heart and can help you with strategies during the bidding process." CNN money.com Lesson 8
