What is good for the North Country is good for all of New Hampshire. That’s why we’ve been fortunate in the past to garner support from lawmakers and residents to support the stabilization of operations at the White Mountain Paper Company. However, the recent decision of Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District (“AVRRDD”) to proceed with two out-of-state groups for the use of the landfill gas, and not a local business whose proposal would support long-term jobs and future growth, is incredibly damaging.

When AVRRDD won’t prioritize North Country employers, what message does this send to the rest of the state and those thinking of investing in our local economy? How is the North Country supposed to attract and encourage investment in our community and people when we don’t support it once it comes?
