CONCORD — Gov. Chris Sununu intends to make an announcement Friday on what aspects of the state’s economy he may be able to reopen and when, the governor’s policy director said Tuesday.
D.J. Bettencourt, who is also chairing the Governor’s Economic Re-Opening Task Force, said he hoped to get input this week from the group on limitations that would be imposed on those openings to protect the public health.
