Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

The Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) has undertaken a public-private partnership to develop up to a 100,000 square-foot air cargo facility, with a private developer funding the building and related work, and MHT funding the aircraft apron, taxiway connectors, utility relocation, and an access road. The partnership leverages private investment to bring much needed air cargo capacity and high paying jobs to New Hampshire. The cost of the Airport’s share of the project is significant and,

City of Nashua

This funding would support improvements to Walnut Street in Nashua. The Walnut Street “Oval” is the result of 1950s urban renewal, and has led to a lack of circulation, prohibition of vehicular movement, and an unsafe situation for pedestrians. This project would tighten the impacted intersections, reintroduce sidewalks, realign the roadways to connect them and allow for traffic flow, create new intersections, and install signaling. Combined, these improvements will reintroduce a street grid tha

This is a heavily trafficked bridge and an important connection over the Merrimack River. A disruption to travel over this bridge could force travelers from communities on both sides of the river to travel miles out of the way to one of the other crossings to
