📰 News we're reading

• Jury backs state's use of eminent domain for I-93 Exit 4A in Derry, Londonderry (nhpr.org) — A jury has upheld New Hampshire’s use of eminent domain for the long-planned I-93 Exit 4A project serving Derry and Londonderry, clearing a major legal hurdle for the $100 million-plus interchange. For Derry residents, that means years more construction around Folsom Road and Tsienneto Road, but also eventual relief from downtown congestion and a protected Derry Rail Trail tunnel connection.
   

• NH gears up for Medicaid work requirements (eagletribune.com) — New Hampshire is preparing to roll out new Medicaid work requirements that could affect thousands of low-income adults in Derry and across the state starting Jan. 1. Officials are upgrading job-matching software to track work hours, while advocates warn that strict documentation rules and frequent compliance checks could push many eligible residents off coverage due to paperwork problems.
