COOS COUNTY—More than $100 million in funding is headed to New Hampshire through the efforts of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Approximately $12 million of that total is targeted for projects in Coos County.

The money is included in the final federal funding bills that were signed by President Biden last month after a turbulent budget process in Congress. Shaheen (D-N.H.), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the money to New Hampshire was appropriated through the Congressionally Directed Spending process, or earmarks as they are commonly known.
