LISBON — The town of Lisbon is one of several local communities and organizations to receive more than $7 million in federal funding for the assessment and cleanup of Brownfield sites in Maine. Lisbon’s share is $200,000.
The federal grants awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will assist local communities as they work to redevelop these contaminated sites in order to promote environmental integrity and future economic investment. The grants were announced by Sens. Angus King and Susan Collins last week.
Midcoast Economic Development District will also receive $820,000 as part of a revolving loan fund.
