Following today’s announcement that an agreement has been reached for the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) $1.4 million Transportation Investment Generating Economy Recovery (TIGER) 2013 grant to the New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad’s main-line rail between Rochester and Ossipee, Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement: “Northcoast Railroad is an important economic link for southeastern and central New Hampshire, connecting the region to the national freight rail network with a connection to Boston at its southern portion. Industrial sector companies depend on this railroad, and the repairs and upgrades made possible by this TIGER grant will directly impact existing customers and greatly assist our efforts to bring new industry to the region. Strengthening our transportation infrastructure is critical to our long-term economic growth, and I thank the New Hampshire Congressional delegation for their advocacy, as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation for this critical investment that will help keep our economy moving in the right direction.” On May 30, 2013, Governor Hassan sent a letter to USDOT in support of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) TIGER grant application for the Northcoast Railroad.
