I live in BETHLEHEM, PA named after the "Bethlehem Steel Corporation." When the "Steel" closed, they left Bethlehem the site of the nations 2nd largest toxic waste site. Rather than use their effort to block new technology the town put their efforts into exploring new and unique technologies as well as "courting" and attempting to lure these new companies and technology to the area to address the FIRST PRIORITY after losing THE main force and producer Bethlehem's economy which was the Steel Mill for over 100 years.

As a result Bethlehem is one of the fastest growing places in the US, in spite of the slump in the real estate market, the market here has not suffered nearly as badly as the rest of the country and the very technologies which they hoped would replaced the lost review of the area ended up providing a solution to the "waste" problem as well as providing the incentive to change laws which allowed Bethlehem to be one of the first places in PA to allow "slot machine" gambling. Many of the new technologies as well as the casinos and their supporting infrastructure (mucho jobs) are all located on top of the location of the "old mill", in the center of town.
Berlin, NH might realize there are unimaginable benefits which came to this town by changing with the times rather than fighting to return to the past. Sure there might be negative effects, but instead of bashing the technologies on a BB, they might use the time they are wasting posting, to study some places like Bethlehem, PA and how they "rose from the ashes of a toxic waste site.” In order to minimize any real or imagined negative effects of changing with the times. JMO and BTW my last post was misinterpreted by many and if I read the PM I got correctly, one person got it.
My opinion is obviously inconsequential but the story of “Bethlehem, Pa” is well documented mainly due to the impact "The Steel" had on the history of the country. “The Resurrection" of the town is part of that history which makes it that much easier to verify.
IMO, those posting as residents of Berlin NH could take similar steps if they really care about saving Berlin NH. The parables between Berlin, NH and Bethlehem are IMO very striking.
JMO,
