Signed state budget, reinstating ‘happy hour,’ hydropower relicensing

In for Carrie Saldo, NEPM's Adam Frenier and panelists discuss the local impact of a recently passed state budget that could offer help to homeowners dealing with crumbling foundations.

And, we discuss new developments on relicensing the Turners Falls Hydroelectric Project and Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Project.

Plus, Beacon Hill looks at reinstating the so-called “happy hour” for Massachusetts restaurants and bars, but not everyone is advocating it. And you may be surprised to find out who has objections!

Adam joined NEPM as a freelance reporter and fill-in operations assistant during the summer of 2011. For more than 15 years, Adam has had a number stops throughout his broadcast career, including as a news reporter and anchor, sports host and play-by-play announcer as well as a producer and technician.
