InDepthNH.org seeks to promote discussion both for and against the Northern Pass project, and we will devote this section to the views and perceptions of citizens, businesses and government officials who wish to join the debate.
We welcome all manner of contributions, including critical suggestions, improvements, alternative ideas as well as recommendations for the challenges involved in the process. This forum is meant to be enlightening and educational. We also hope that it will be empowering and allow proponents and opponents to air their views so that meaningful public participation will be fostered. The goal is to offer an effective means to open dialogue.
