HUDSON – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan toured Life is Good’s new production and warehouse facility in Hudson on Wednesday. The new facility features innovative direct-to-garment printing technology that allows the apparel company to produce items on-demand, reducing clothing waste by eliminating the need for large speculative orders. Additionally, the building demonstrates a commitment to sustainability with its rainwater collection system and rooftop solar panel array.
“It was great to tour Life is Good’s new Hudson facility, which is not only creating jobs for Granite Staters, but also using technology to cut down on waste and lower costs for the company,” said Senator Hassan. “This kind of innovation is what allows a small state like New Hampshire to punch above its weight, and showcases how the Granite State is the place to be for all those who want to innovate, research, and create.”
Senator Hassan has been a leader in efforts to cut taxes for innovative businesses and startups. For instance, she has led the push to restore the full research and development (R&D) tax deduction, which she will continue to push for as part of negotiations for a bipartisan tax cut package in Congress next year. Senator Hassan successfully pushed to include the doubling of the refundable research and development tax credit for small businesses and startups in the Inflation Reduction Act, which is now law. As Governor of New Hampshire, Senator Hassan doubled the supply of state R&D tax credits and made the credit permanent.
