1. Decide whether Loudon belongs in the footprint
Bosseo describes two geographic choices: the whole state or only counties selected by the firm. Loudon is a municipal town in Merrimack County, New Hampshire. That exact relationship makes Loudon relevant to a county-scoped plan, but it does not establish that a county plan is commercially superior or that Loudon has a particular level of legal demand. The decision should begin with the places the firm is actually prepared to serve, not with a population-based forecast. Include Loudon only if the firm wants to address people searching for its services there and can explain the service accurately for New Hampshire. If the firm serves more than Merrimack County, compare a county-limited footprint with a statewide footprint as a scope decision.
Recommended approach
At a consultation, ask Bosseo to show the difference between a Merrimack County footprint and a New Hampshire footprint. Review the cities included, the firm’s service boundaries and the operational ability to respond to inquiries from each area. Do not approve geographic expansion solely because a place appears in Census data.
