Governor Hassan's Statement on Signing SB 30

Statement

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement after today signing Senate Bill 30, permitting counties with unincorporated areas to establish tax increment financing districts:

"Senate Bill 30 is a critical piece of economic development legislation, giving unincorporated areas the same access to economic development resources as the rest of the state. This bipartisan measure is also an important step forward for advancing the Balsams redevelopment project, which is a bold vision for the revitalization of this historic resort with great potential to create jobs, boost the North Country's economy, and have a ripple effect for businesses across the state.

"By working across party lines to find a way forward on this important bill, we have once again demonstrated our ability in the Granite State to make common-sense, bipartisan progress for our people and businesses. I would like to thank Senator Woodburn, Senate President Morse, Speaker Jasper and the entire North Country delegation for their efforts to pass this legislation, and I am proud to take another step forward for economic development in the Granite State by signing this bipartisan bill into law."
