Senator Jeanne Shaheen spent a busy day in New Hampshire reviewing infrastructure work, engaging with aerospace industry leaders and paying tribute to Korean War veterans. The visits highlighted three of the lawmaker's longstanding priorities: transportation funding, the state's growing aerospace sector and recognition of military service members.
Reviewing the I-93 Exit 4A Project
The senator toured the I-93 Exit 4A construction site, one of the most significant highway upgrades in the region. The interchange is designed to ease congestion, improve safety and support continued economic growth in surrounding communities. Shaheen, who has advocated for federal transportation investments, used the visit to assess progress and reinforce the case for sustained infrastructure funding.
Meeting with Aerospace Leaders
Following the site visit, Shaheen met with representatives of New Hampshire's aerospace sector. The discussions centered on workforce development, supply chain opportunities and the role of small and mid-sized manufacturers in supporting national defense and commercial aviation programs.

Honoring Korean War Veterans
The day concluded with a ceremony recognizing Korean War veterans. Shaheen thanked the service members for their sacrifices and emphasized the importance of preserving their stories for younger generations. The gathering offered a chance to connect military recognition with the day's broader themes of service and community investment.
