NH senators seek BP station in constituency

May 11, 2009
Concord, NH (AP) -- Sens. Judd Gregg and Jeanne Shaheen want the government to build a new Border Patrol station in Colebrook, N.H.

They wrote Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to say Colebrook would be a better site than Canaan, Vt.

Colebrook, they say, is on Route 3, which provides access to major roads connecting Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, where the threat of illegal smuggling is significant.
