Gov.
Janet Mills has announced $5 million in grants to help communities in Maine protect themselves from the effects of climate change.
The grants, awarded through the Community Resilience Partnership, will go to 41 communities across the state, the Bangor Daily News reports.
Of those, nearly 90% have fewer than 4,000 people and more than one-third are considered highly vulnerable to climate impacts, per the Maine Social Vulnerability Index.
The grants will help communities create plans and take action to address vulnerability to extreme weather and other climate effects, per the governor's office.
Since the Community Resilience Partnership was announced in December 2021, the program has awarded nearly $1.7 million to organizations to work with communities to enroll in the Partnership.
With these additional grants, a total of 228 Maine cities, towns, and tribal governments are participating. Read the Entire Article
