The Bureau of Justice Administration has approved funding for a new drug court in Nashua, but has rejected a grant for the same program in Manchester.
Hillsborough County Superior Court had applied for two three-year, $325,000 grants.
Each would have funded drug courts in the state’s two largest cities, but, earlier this month, only Nashua’s was approved.
Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Ken Brown says while he’s disappointed, the Manchester court did receive funding for a similar program called Project HOPE.
