AUGUSTA – On May 1, the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future announced that Bangor has been selected as a recipient of a Community Action Grant award from the Community Resilience Partnership.
Bangor will receive an award of $75,000 to be used for evaluating the efficiency of municipal buildings in Bangor and improving mobility.
The Bangor delegation, including Reps. Sean Faircloth, Ambureen Rana, Amy Roeder and Laura Supica, released the following joint statement applauding the funding:
“We are incredibly pleased that Bangor will receive this important funding to improve our municipal buildings. They have posed challenges to community members struggling with mobility, which is a big issue for many of the people who access services in these buildings. A lot of these structures are aging and need updates.”
This award is part of $8 million in this round of grant funding to help Maine communities protect people, businesses and infrastructure from flooding, storm surge and other climate effects. The funding, which was approved by the Legislature in the May 2024 supplemental budget, will support projects in 166 communities throughout the state.
