In 2006 Concord’s Economic Development Advisory Council asked the City Council to authorize a Creative Economy Task Force charged with developing a creative economy plan for Concord. The City Council agreed & provided $15,000 from the Economic Development Reserve Fund. This was matched by $21,000 from the private sector. The Creative Economy Task Force, comprised of more than 50 members of the business, arts & cultural communities, as well as federal, state & local government officials, convened in Sept 2006 and met throughout 2007, retaining Dreeszen Associates as consultants. In 2008 the Task Force met for a planning retreat, from which it developed New Hampshire’s Creative Crossroads: The Concord Creative Economy Plan, which created a permanent Creative Concord Committee.
