Eastern Maine Development Corp.’s community resilience team is working in Piscataquis, Penobscot and Aroostook counties to assist to plan for climate resilience. This is part of a concerted statewide effort to embrace clean energy while making our Maine communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change. I am assisting Dover-Foxcroft, Greenville, Monson and Beaver Cove in Piscataquis County; Enfield and Howland in Penobscot County; and Limestone in Aroostook County to apply for this round of Community Action grants for climate resilience projects. There’s still time for other towns to apply, and our team is ready to answer questions and help with applications to access these funds before the July 7 deadline. ~ Laurie Osher, Climate Resilience Specialist, EMDC
