EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area is a geo-demographic area. Responses to Census 2000 questions by the residents of New Hampshire and Vermont defined its boundaries. After analysis of those responses, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) selected the towns that showed the greatest social and economic interdependence to define the extent of The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area. The OMB uses a Micropolitan Statistical Area to present local and regional data so that it reflects the actual behaviors of its residents. The Lebanon NH-VT Micropolitan Statistical Area is an economically integrated region of 25 contiguous towns that spans four counties in two states.

  • Chapter 2: Regional Context

    Chapter 2: Regional Context

    CHAPTER 2: REGIONAL CONTEXT 1. INTRODUCTION The idea of belonging to a region is nothing new to Hanover and its neighboring municipalities. There is a tradition of thought, activities and inter-municipal cooperation that extends across town, county and state boundaries. Since the Region provides a common background, each town has a stake in keeping the Upper Valley region a desirable place in which to live and work. Hanover and its neighbors cannot afford to look only as far as town lines. Because the population and/or tax base in many towns are small, cooperative efforts are necessary to cut costs for services and, in some cases, essential for the service even to be provided. Individual communities each play a distinctive role in the growth of the Region. As the Town looks ahead to the next decade, it is important to understand Hanover's identity and role in this broader context. While other chapters of this master plan emphasize Hanover and its resources, and goals and policies, this chapter will highlight Hanover's significance from the perspectives of the immediate Upper Valley and broader region. Then, specific issues the Town will need to consider from a regional point of view in the near future will be addressed. 2. A SENSE OF THE PLACE Hanover, a small New England college community, is the cultural anchor of the Upper Valley. With its highly regarded quality of life, Hanover is home to Dartmouth College and its museums, theatrical and musical productions, lectures and sports events, attractions for residents, alumni and visitors. The town’s business and office/laboratory districts maintain a strong and vibrant economic base.

  • Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation

    Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation

    Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation CONCEPTUAL ASSESSMENT AND NARRATIVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Funding was appropriated in FY 2019 to the Sergeant at Arms to contract with a third party to conduct an assessment of the sound system in the State House and 1 Baldwin Street pursuant to 2 V.S.A.§ 62(a)(8). This document constitutes that assessment, and presents a summary of findings and recommendations for renovations of the Audio/Visual (AV) systems at the Vermont State Capitol. The design concepts and recommendations described in this document are based on a needs analysis performed by K2 during a site visit completed on September 27, 2018, and the conversations held at that time with stakeholders for the State. It is intended that this report be used for review of the conceptual design and cost estimates, and to guide the future development of detailed AV designs and the subsequent installation of the AV systems. Background Most of the audio and video systems currently in place at the Vermont State Capitol have reached the end of their expected lifespan or will be at that point soon. Many have been modified and upgraded over the years with incremental changes that provided the functionality needed by the State at the time of the upgrade. This has resulted in many systems that are not cohesive and are difficult to troubleshoot. There is serious concern about the health of critical systems including microphones and sound reinforcement systems at both Chambers. Because of their age and custom nature, it is difficult or impossible to find replacement parts for many of the existing systems.

  • Timber As a Bridge Material

    Timber As a Bridge Material

    TIMBER AS A BRIDGE MATERIAL 1.1 INTRODUCTION The age of wood spans human history. The stone, iron, and bronze ages were dramatic interims in human progress, but wood-a renewable re- source-has always been at hand. As a building material, wood is abun­ dant, versatile, and easily obtainable. Without it, civilization as we know it would have been impossible. One-third of the area of the United States is forest land. If scientifically managed and protected from natural disasters caused by fire, insects, and disease, forests will last forever. As older trees are harvested, they are replaced by young trees to replenish the wood supply for future generations. The cycle of regeneration, or sustained yield, can equal or surpass the volume being harvested. Wood was probably the first material used by humans to construct a bridge. Although in the 20th century concrete and steel replaced wood as the major materials for bridge construction, wood is still widely used for short- and medium-span bridges. Of the bridges in the United States with spans longer than 20 feet, approximately 12 percent of them, or 71,200 bridges, are made of timber. In the USDA Forest Service alone, approxi­ mately 7,500 timber bridges are in use, and more are built each year. The railroads have more than 1,500 miles of timber bridges and trestles in service. In addition, timber bridges recently have attracted the attention of international organizations and foreign countries, including the United Nations, Canada, England, Japan, and Australia. Timber’s strength, light weight, and energy-absorbing properties furnish features desirable for bridge construction.
