NEWS CENTER MAINE • October 22, 2024
Nine months after damaging storms in January heavily impacted Maine's coastal communities, recovery is still top of mind. The issue is being put back at the forefront for state legislators. In Bremen on Tuesday, the Island Institute hosted a roundtable between leaders from Maine's working waterfronts, Sen. Angus King, and Rep. Chellie Pingree. Kimberly Hamilton, president of the Island Institute, hopes hosting the discussion will put these issues back on the center stage for legislators. "We want to make sure folks who can help influence the direction of policies and resources are really hearing from the folks who are most affected."
