It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Rochester and to the great state of New Hampshire. Rochester — The Lilac City — offers businesses, residents and visitors alike the convenience of a prosperous city combined with the charm and traditions of a small New England town.
From its rolling hills and rivers to its vibrant arts community and from its rich history to its active civil life, Rochester is a wonderful place to start a business, visit or to raise a family.
Rochester is a great example of all that New Hampshire has to offer — the Granite State is routinely ranked one of the healthiest states, one of the safest states and one of the best places to live. We have a dedicated and educated workforce, responsive state and local governments, low taxes, a beautiful natural environment and a great quality of life.
I’m confident that you will find something in Rochester that appeals to you and your family. I hope that you will return soon — to visit, to live or to start a business.
Sincerely,
John Lynch
Governor
