Northern Pass readies two job and supplier fairs

Events to showcase opportunities for workers, businesses

Two job and supplier fairs for New Hampshire workers and businesses interested in working on the Northern Pass transmission project will be held in the coming weeks, one in Whitefield and the other in Concord.
