The Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce invites members and the public to its upcoming Washington Update with U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen on July 7 from 11 a.m. to noon. Senator Shaheen will address key issues in Washington that will affect New Hampshire communities at this complimentary virtual event. Senator Shaheen is a member of the group of U.S. Senators who recently negotiated a federal infrastructure package. Funds from this Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework will be used for important local projects, such as the redesign of I-93 through the heart of Concord. This project will have a profound impact on the Greater Concord business community, tourist traffic to northern New Hampshire, and statewide access to the Capital City. Forum attendees are encouraged to participate in a discussion of this topic and inquire about other leading issues during a Q&A session with Senator Shaheen. This forum, generously sponsored by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Concord, will be held in a webinar format, enabling attendees to participate without being on camera. Register for this virtual forum at ConcordNHChamber.com/key-events. For more information, please contact the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce at (603) 224-2508, email events@concordnhchamber.com, or visit the Chamber’s website.
