About Us
On January 27, 2009 Governor John Lynch issued an Executive Order creating an Office of Economic Stimulus within the Governor’s Office. Governor Lynch appointed state Deputy Attorney General Orville “Bud” Fitch as director of the office, which is charged with assisting the Governor and state agencies in the management and expenditure of federal stimulus funds.
The office was created to “...ensure that New Hampshire and its citizens receive maximum benefits from any federal economic stimulus package, and that those funds are used to create jobs and protect essential services here in New Hampshire."
The Office of Economic Stimulus will ensure state agencies are coordinating their efforts and that New Hampshire complies with all federal requirements.
