Invest in Coös County, Invest in Kids!
The Coös Family Support Project believes:
Investing early in families and children 0-6 can improve
the future stability and development of Coös County
If We Invest in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Development
Coös County could, over time...
- Spend less money on crisis intervention, treatment programs and crime
- Have a highly educated and engaged workforce
- Attract young families and retain younger, well educated workers
- Become known as the best place in N.H. to raise a family - and start a business!
