An area along the Kennebec River that used to be the site of two mills and needs to be cleaned up from contamination is proposed for a new Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife building and a rejuvenated recreation area. Gov. Janet Mills requested $39.5 million for the project in her proposed supplemental budget for the 2022-23 fiscal year, but it must receive approval from the Legislature before advancing.
