WASHINGTON — U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) predict that New Hampshire will receive about $2 billion across a variety of sectors from new federal COVID-19 relief included in government funding legislation that was signed into law Dec. 27.

Shaheen, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Hassan both helped negotiate the new funding bill. These estimates do not include all sectors of New Hampshire’s economy that will receive federal relief, which will become available in the days and weeks ahead.
