NH's Infrastructure Fails to Get Needed Investment
- Over 30% more funding for municipal Block Grant Aid, that jumps to over 50% more funding when State Bridge Aid is included
- Full funding for the completion of the I-93 widening project
- The state can pave the required 500 miles each year to adequately maintain the road conditions
- Decrease the number of state-owned and municipal red list bridges
The lack of investment likely means cuts to the Ten Year Transportation Plan, cuts to the I-93 widening project, and/or more. Lack of infrastructure maintenance places New Hampshire at a competitive disadvantage when attracting new businesses. Meanwhile, New Hampshire's neighboring states have made infrastructure investment a priority, increasing their revenue sources over the last few years.
If the condition of New Hampshire's infrastructure is important to you, call your Senator. For more information on how moderately increasing the gas tax can benefit the entire state, visit the Infrastructure page.
