AUGUSTA — The Mills Administration has announced the opening of three grant opportunities available to communities across Maine to address climate change effects through investments to improve energy efficiency, transition to clean energy, expand local and regional planning capacity, and protect infrastructure from damaging storms or rising sea levels.
These grants will be awarded to Maine cities, towns, and Tribal governments through the state’s Community Resilience Partnership, which helps communities plan for climate change, reduce carbon emissions, and increase resilience to climate effects.
