ANDROSCOGGIN VALLEY — Using her position as a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) has included money for two key local projects in federal funding legislation. The fiscal year 2022 government funding bill, which still must pass Congress and be signed by President Joe Biden, provides $500,000 for the restoration of the Nansen Ski Jump and $1.5 million to find needed space for Coos County Family Health Services’ dental clinic.
Coos County Family Health Services has been looking for space to expand its dental clinic in downtown Berlin for several years. Two years ago, the non-profit considered demolishing the old Woolworth building and replacing it with a health and wellness center, working in conjunction with the AHEAD ( Affordable Housing, Education and Development) and Androscoggin Valley Hospital. But the cost proved prohibitive and the building has since been sold.
