Renewed push to outlaw sale of land near NH military outlets to foreign enemies

Gov. Kelly Ayotte is backing the bid of the state Senate’s top Republican to ban four totalitarian countries that are U.S. adversaries from purchasing land within 10 miles of 10 key military installations across the state.
Senate Majority Leader Regina Birdsell, R-Hampstead and a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, started work on the issue after a Chinese-owned food manufacturing company, the FuFeng Group, in 2021 bought land within 12 miles of Grand Forks Air Base in North Dakota, a vital site for military drone technology.
In January 2023, Grand Forks city officials denied the owners a building permit after that state’s two U.S. senators called the project a “significant threat to national security.”
