Once again our North Country Regional Economic Development Council has been chosen for one of the top awards in the State. We received $90.2 million this year bringing our two year total to almost $200 million. Congratulations to co-chairs Garry Douglas and Dr. Tony Collins for their leadership and to all of the volunteers who do such an outstanding job of selecting outstanding projects to receive this money. The jobs created and retained by the funding received is a huge boost to our North Country economy.
