TIMES RECORD • January 30, 2025
The entity on the hook for the disastrous toxic foam spill in Brunswick last August, the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, reported that it received a $250,000 payout after the incident, covering just a fraction of the costs it has racked up. The payout makes a mere dent in the $781,000 cleanup bill the authority had accrued as of Dec. 31, 2024. An airport insurance policy through the Maine Risk Management Bureau underwritten by Chubb Insurance — was denied due to a PFAS-exclusion clause. A second policy claim with Acadia Insurance was denied for the same clause.
