Senator Shaheen Visits Mid-State’s
PLYMOUTH - Senator Shaheen visited Mid-State’s Lit- tle Antlers Learning Center on Wednesday, June 1, following her successful push to secure $200,000 through the Con- gressionally Directed Spending (CDS) process to support families and children in Grafton County. This award will help the center renovate an 8,400 square foot building to better provide early childhood education and child- care to families in the Central New Hampshire Region.

“There is a critical need for childcare in our rural region, and
Mid-State is committed to being a part of the solution. I’d like to thank Senator Shaheen for her successful push to secure funding through the Congressionally Di- rected Spending process for our Little Antlers Learning Center. By all of us working together, it has helped to ensure that many fam-
