How federal stimulus money will be used for key New Hampshire highway projects and the future of commuter rail in the state will be among the topics discussed at an April 16 event in Concord.

The Business and Industry Association, in partnership with the Associated General Contractors of NH, NH Municipal Association and A Safer Road to Tomorrow Coalition, will present a luncheon forum dedicated to the current and future state of New Hampshire infrastructure.

Fund and the need for additional revenue, and the future of commuter rail in
New Hampshire.
