CONWAY — Asked by U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) what their needs are, local outdoor recreation business leaders last Wednesday resoundingly replied they need workers and housing for said workers.Â
The meeting was Pappas'Â first visit to the Mount Washington Valley since being sworn in for a third term in Congress. He met with a group of nine small- business leaders at the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce office in North Conway.Â
