As flooding continues in Winslow, town drafts plan for possible solution

MORNING SENTINEL • December 29, 2022

Last week’s storm brought another round of flooding to the intersection where Bay Street meets China Road — an area bedeviled for decades by high water during heavy rain — but Winslow officials say an infusion of state money will allow them to at least partially address the problem. A $2.7 million grant that the Maine Department of Transportation gave the town over the summer is to be used to upgrade drainage equipment. The money was awarded to the town in July from the Maine Infrastructure Adaptation Fund, which allocated $20 million for municipalities to shore up stormwater infrastructure in the face of climate change.
