New Hampshire was one of four states to receive grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Thursday to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement to the Dow Jones Newswires that the funding announced Thursday will help California, Missouri, New Hampshire and North Carolina conserve energy, create jobs, increase their use of renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Since New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signed Senate Bill 39 into law April 17, towns, villages and school districts in the state have been able to hold special town hall meetings so residents and members can vote on how to use Recovery Act dollars allotted to a specific area. For example, Exeter will hold one of the special town hall meetings May 27 to decide whether the town will accept Recovery Act funds for two water projects. The stimulus funds would pay for only part of the projects, according to The Exeter News-Letter. In order to receive that funding, the town would have to participate in the state revolving fund loan program, the newspaper reports.

New Hampshire is leading the nation in stimulus spending for roads and bridges—the state's already obligated 67.1 percent of its stimulus share for roads and bridges projects as of April 23, according to information obtained by the Kansas City Star from the Federal Highway Administration. Under the Recovery Act, states have until June 30 to obligate 50 percent of their stimulus funds for roads and bridges, according to the Federal Highway Administration's Web site. If they don't, the money could be redistributed to the states that have spent the money in a timelier manner, according to the site.

An independent Concord, N.H.-based watchdog group called STEWARD, which stands for Save the Economy Without Accumulating Record Debt, just published a study on how Recovery Act funding will affect New Hampshire. The study found that Recovery Act funding to New Hampshire over three years will equal about 1 percent of the state's gross state product this year and then next year and about .33 percent of the gross state product in 2011, the study reports. Another key finding of the study is that stimulus funding from the federal government will replace state purchasing of goods and services and do little to affect job creation, according to the study.

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch hosted an informational statewide workshop on the stimulus April 7. Nearly 1,000 municipal and education officials along with business and nonprofit leaders from the state participated in the training session, according to the New Hampshire governor's office. A video of the training session is available by visiting the state recovery Web site.
