Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 21st of July.
Good morning, Nashua.
🚧 Accidents
On Sunday morning in 1925, visitors in Nashua gathered on upper Factory Street to view the ruins after a fire destroyed the C.H.
Avery Company furniture store, the Tupper building, and a storehouse—losses exceeded $200,000. The company announced it planned to rebuild once debris was cleared—officials also recorded firefighter Samuel Elkins’ death after a heart attack on December 9, 1925, marking another line of duty loss.
📰 Economy
A report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition found New Hampshire is the 12th most expensive state for rent — residents must earn about $27 an hour to afford a one-bedroom apartment at $1,401 a month.
The study also found nearly 45% of renting households earn below 50% of the area median income — forcing many to share apartments or work extra hours.
UNH researchers are testing seedless table grape varieties to help expand local production and change the grapes available at grocery stores.
The team has used strategic vineyard management for seven years—growing over 100 acres by 2022—and said the Mars and Lakemont grapes show promise for future local growers.
🌲 Environment
On Sunday, scattered thunderstorms hit New Hampshire as severe storms in central and southern areas produced damaging wind gusts and hail while northern parts recorded heavy rain and lightning.
Monday is sunny with highs in the 70s—forecasts say heat and humidity will build later this week with temperatures near 90.
🏥 Health
More than 2,200 Granite Staters had their personal data at risk when an unauthorized party breached Covenant Health’s IT system on May 18—information such as medical records, health insurance, and Social Security numbers may have been accessed.
Covenant Health is offering free fraud monitoring and is strengthening its IT security measures to help prevent future breaches.
🏈 Sports
The Nashua Silver Knights traveled to Vermont tonight and lost 3-2 to the Vermont Lake Monsters, which extended their losing streak to six games.
New pitchers Nigel Cross and Sam Franco worked hard, but the offense only scored once more in the late inning before the win was sealed.
