New leader of embattled Brunswick Landing authority outlines priorities

TIMES RECORD • March 6, 2025

Daniel Stevenson was appointed the new executive director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority on Monday. He will be overseeing the cleanup of one of the worst environmental disasters in the state’s history. “Right now, the most important priority is public safety, both in the immediate and long term,” he said. “Brunswick Landing is full of potential. We can nurture young tech startups and businesses that move Maine into the 21st century. Although the chemical release is unfortunate, things are coming together here. We will continue working with the Navy, EPA and DEP, putting science first in all our efforts — from release cleanup work and ongoing monitoring to redevelopment.“
