9 midcoast towns receive climate grants

MIDCOAST VILLAGER • May 28, 2026

Nine midcoast towns—Rockland, South Thomaston, Union, Warren, Belfast, Northport, Lincolnville, Searsport and North Haven—will benefit from the latest round of state grants to prepare for severe storms and flooding and reduce costs to taxpayers through energy efficiency upgrades. The grants are through the state’s Community Resilience Partnership program, created in 2021 by Gov. Mills based on a leading recommendation of Maine’s climate action plan, Maine Won’t Wait.
