CONCORD, NH – Communities and organizations in six rural counties will share $11 million in federal funds awarded through grants from the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC).

In New Hampshire, projects are eligible for the Catalyst program in all, or portions of, Belknap; Carroll; Cheshire; Coos; Grafton, and Sullivan Counties.
Avesta Housing Development/Mount Washington Valley Economic Council in Conway will receive $500,000 to connect Technology Lane and Council Road along a 36-acres parcel of partially developed land, which will develop infrastructure to support 160 new affordable housing units and business development.
