Troy business owner faces damage after last week's nor'easter in New Hampshire
Businesses in the Granite State have been hit hard by last week's nor’easter.
Oliver Levick owns Granite Roots Brewing in Troy. His "beer domes" introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic were crushed under snow.
He said he had to cancel all of the reservations for the weekend.
"And so it was a shame," Levick said. "So yeah, we've kind of had to pivot a little bit and open up another building, you know, that we use more in in the spring and summer that's not quite as insulated and heated, but we've been blasting the heat."
His other business in Troy, Monadnock Berries, also had damage. The farm has been in the family for almost 25 years.
Some 6-7 feet blueberry bushes were flattened.
“I’ve never seen snow like this before,” Levick said. “We have huge patches of our fields right now that you wouldn't even know are berry bushes. They've been totally flattened and are covered with snow.”
Levick said he's keeping a positive mindset and is inspired seeing crews working from all over to get the power back.
"The community's been working well together," Levick said.
Levick said his next step is to take a closer look and see what's repairable.
Another business that was damaged after the nor'easter was the Goffstown Sportsdome.
There was no official word on the direct reason for the dome deflation, but state officials said it was likely due to the heavy, wet snow that fell last week.
