WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen applauded the Northern Border Regional Commission’s announcement that grant applications for communities impacted by forest product plant closures are now being accepted for fiscal year 2019.

In addition to securing $20 million in NBRC funding in the fiscal year 2019 spending bill that was signed into law, Shaheen included language to ensure portions of commission's funds be directed to assist rural communities affected by past mill closures, as well as support new markets and the infrastructure needs of the forest products industry.
