There’s a new development going up in the small town of Hurley, New Hampshire, and the old time Hurley residents are not happy about it, so much so that they’ll engage in guerilla tactics to have it stopped. Joseph Freda’s 1995 book Suburban Guerrillas gives a comical look at our state’s conflicted feelings of growth, about those looking to find a home in small town New Hampshire and the old-timers who want to have the door shut behind them once they move in. We’ll explore the issue of growth with author Joseph Freda and through the pages of his book Suburban Guerillas on the next Granite State Stories. We'll once again broadcast live from the Political Library Reading Room at the State Library building in Concord. The event is free and open to the public. Laura's guests are Joseph Freda, Author of Suburban Guerrillas and Jeff Taylor, Former Director of the New Hampshire Office of State Planning from 1989 to 2003 and current President of Jeff Taylor & Associates, Inc., a community planning and economic development group in Concord, New Hampshire.
