Governor Ayotte’s Budget for All of New Hampshire: Delivering for our North Country

“The North Country is such a beautiful and important area of our state. From a one-year moratorium on new landfills, to securing our northern border and fighting drug trafficking, to delivering more money for our cities and towns than ever before, this budget will deliver even greater prosperity for our North Country and all of New Hampshire.” – Gov. Kelly Ayotte

What They’re Saying: Governor Ayotte’s Priorities for the North Country

“Governor Ayotte is a woman of her word. When I first brought this

landfill issue to her in 2023, she immediately recognized how important it was to the North Country. I thank the Governor for protecting beautiful areas like Forest Lake State Park in my district, as well as the natural beauty of our entire state.” – State Senator Dave Rochefort, Littleton

“Governor Ayotte’s budget is a win for communities north of the Notch. From keeping our trails open, to keeping landfills out of our beautiful state parks, to securing our Northern Border and fighting drug trafficking, it’s clear Governor Ayotte drafted this budget with the North Country at the top of her mind. That’s why the North Country is Ayotte Country.”
 – State Rep. Arnie Davis, Milan

“Governor Ayotte once again showed that she truly cares about the North Country and every community across our state. This budget keeps New Hampshire safe through more funding for the Northern Border Alliance, helps preserve access to recreation and enjoyment of our natural beauty, and delivers for our local communities through historic funding for education. Thank you, Governor Ayotte, for always keeping the North Country top of mind.” – State Rep. Mike Oullet, Colebrook

How Governor Ayotte will Deliver for our North Country

  • Establish a one-year moratorium on new landfills and creates a new site evaluation committee for future locations
  • Invest in securing our Northern Border and supporting North Country law enforcement
  • Support the North Country’s tourism economy by opening the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Working Forest OHRV trails for the full season
