Documents and information relevant to the Connecticut River Joint Commissions (CRJC) and its five subcommittees.
The Connecticut River is designated from the outlet of Fourth Connecticut Lake to the New Hampshire/Massachusetts state line. It is overseen by the Connecticut River Joint Commissions (CRJC) which is made up of representatives from both New Hampshire and Vermont. In New Hampshire, representatives are appointed to the Connecticut River Valley Resource Commission by the Governor and Executive Council or a planning commission. The Connecticut River Valley Resource Commission is the New Hampshire half of CRJC.
