Governor Janet Mills has announced awarded $5.8 million that has been awarded in Business Recovery & Resilience Grants to 109 Maine businesses and nonprofit organizations to help them recover from last winter’s devastating storms.
The grants are the first awarded from the $10 million Business Recovery and Resilience Fund, established as part of the $60 million in State funding that Governor Mills and Legislature approved through the supplemental budget in May, the single largest investment in storm recovery by any Administration in Maine history.
The Department of Economic and Community Development is awarding up to $100,000 to the businesses and organizations for design, permitting, and construction costs for projects that help them address the impacts of last winter’s storm and improve their resilience to future storms and changing climate conditions.
Businesses and organizations receiving funding span all sixteen Maine counties and range from lobster processors to breweries to hotels.
