The Northern Border Regional Commission approved over $3.6 million in new awards to three projects as part of the Forest Economy Program and new Timber for Transit Program. These projects fall within the spring round of awards, with a second grant round available to prospective applicants in fall 2024.
Now in its fifth year of funding, the commission’s Forest Economy Program supports the regional forest-based economy and the industry’s evolution to include new technologies and viable business models across the 4-state region of New Hampshire, Maine, New York and Vermont.
