MAINE PUBLIC • December 3, 2024
The Mills administration announced Tuesday an additional $2 million for businesses impacted by storms that caused widespread damage one year ago. The grants will help pay for repairs and infrastructure improvements related to the series of storms that battered Maine last December and January, causing extensive flooding and other damage in coastal and riverfront communities. State lawmakers allocated $60 million for storm recovery earlier this year, including $10 million for the Business Recovery and Resiliency Fund. More than 100 small businesses and nonprofits received $8 million during the first round of the program.
