Kusters Whitefield and Lancaster tour kicked off with a visit to Presby Environmental, followed by a tour of the Polish Princess Bakery and a discussion on how Congress can support local businesses like this one. After the bakery, Kuster hosted a roundtable discussion on the importance of expanding broadband access to communities across the North Country, an issue that many local community members have been fighting for over the past few years, and which Kuster strongly supports. Following the roundtable, Kuster toured Weeks Memorial Hospital in Lancaster. I was so pleased to get an opportunity to visit local stops in Whitefield and Lancaster, which gave me a chance to connect with my constituents and hear their thoughts on additional steps Congress can be taking to support their economic success, said Congresswoman Kuster. In particular, Im thrilled we were able to bring together so many stakeholders in the fight to expand Broadband access to the North Country, which we all know is crucial for economic development in the region. It was a great opportunity to hear the thoughts and opinions expressed at todays roundtable regarding steps to move forward, and I look forward to continuing to work with this truly valuable coalition of Granite Staters who are hard at work trying to get this done. Since taking office, Kuster has long prioritized job creation and economic opportunity for her constituents, including those in the North Country. She periodically tours the region in order to offer Congressional assistance for economic development projects, and she has supported numerous grants and other legislative initiatives to boost the economic success of the region. She is the author of a Jobs and Economic Opportunity Agenda, which outlines steps Congress can take to continue to help workers like those located in the North Country find jobs, and she has long pushed a Make It In America initiative, to bring manufacturing jobs back to the Granite State and prevent jobs from being shipped overseas. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
