What’s Inside

Balsams developer Les Otten has received a total of $5 million in loans from Northern Pass, spokesman Scott Tranchemontagne said Thursday.

See Coverage Page 14

Whitefield, one of the last towns in the state to hold its town meeting after the March 14 snowstorm postponed it, held their annual gathering Tuesday, when voters gave the green light to two big infrastructure projects.

See Coverage Page 6

There’s a new transmission line in town — the pro-posed Granite State Power Link, a 1,200-megawatt line that would import Canadian energy through the North-east Kingdom into N.H. along existing transmission cor-ridors and lines.
