History
[edit]New Hampshire has had a Division of Economic Development since 1962.[1][2] During the 1960s, the division published vacation guides and placed newspaper advertisements with taglines such as "The New New Hampshire".[3] During the 1970s, the division issued state highway maps and tourist guides.[4] Similar activities are now handled by the state's Division of Travel and Tourism Development.
In July 2017, the Division of Economic Development became part of the newly formed Department of Business and Economic Affairs (DBEA), having previously been part of the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED).[5][6]
