Hanover, N.H. — Today, Rep. Annie Kuster (NH-02) visited the Hanover Multi-Use Path with town officials and discussed the $350,000 she secured for the project in the government funding package recently signed into law. These federal dollars will be used to increase transportation options and improve public safety for children, families, and seniors by connecting a busy elementary school and nursery school to other town path systems.

“Expanding commuting and recreational opportunities is critical to improving economic competitiveness in New Hampshire and helping our local communities become more family-friendly,” said Rep. Kuster. “I was proud to support funding for the Hanover Multi-Use Path to create more transportation options for Granite Staters living in the area and improve public safety for children, families, and seniors. I’m excited to see this project come to fruition and support families in Hanover and the Upper Valley region.”

"The Town of Hanover is honored to be a recipient of funding for our Multi-Use Path project to connect the Dartmouth campus and adjacent neighborhoods via an off-road, accessible path to our elementary and middle schools, enabling school-age children and members of the community to walk, bike, snowshoe, and ski to and from the schools as well as to enjoy this off-road recreational resource,” said Julia Griffin, Hanover Town Manager. “As a bicycle and pedestrian-focused community, we continue to look for opportunities to enhance these accessible pathway options for our citizens and visitors alike."

Under the Community Project Funding Request process for the 117th Congress, which was included in the bipartisan omnibus package, Rep. Annie Kuster secured resources for 10 Community Projects in the Second District.
