CONWAY — On Monday afternoon, U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) visited Cranmore Mountain Resort, touring the 89-room Marriott hotel under construction there as well as getting an overview of the new base lodge, both falling under the umbrella of Cranmore’s planned $60 million redevelopment.
The stop was part of the first-term congressman's focus on tourism. While there, Pappas discussed the ski season with Cranmore President and General Manager Ben Wilcox, as well as the local tourism-dependent economy.
