TFMoran was proud to sponsor The Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce’s State of the State Breakfast at LaBelle Winery in Derry, NH this past Monday, June 16th. Many business owners and community members showed up to hear from Governor Kelly Ayotte! Guests, including TFMoran’s Sr. Structural Engineer, Kyle Roy, began the morning with a full breakfast buffet, setting the stage for a productive and engaging event.

Governor Ayotte addressed key issues impacting the region and priorities in her budget including housing, economic development, affordable post-secondary education, improvement of mental health & disability services, improvement to public safety, emphasizing affordable childcare and early education, and a priority to increase support for local and small businesses. She also highlighted efforts to streamline permitting processes in infrastructure.

The event concluded with a thoughtful Q&A session that brought together business leaders, legislators, and even parents from the community to discuss how the Governor’s budget priorities can drive meaningful progress across New Hampshire—for stronger communities, a healthier economy, and a better future for all residents.

After the Governor’s remarks and interactive Q&A session, attendees had the chance to network with fellow community members and local leaders. Many also took the opportunity to personally meet Governor Ayotte and continue the conversation in a more informal setting, making it an overall great morning!
