Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership: How Communities in York County are Taking Action
Join us at the Wells Public Library this June to learn how towns in Southern Maine are taking action to build resilience in their communities! A panel of community leaders and municipal officials from nearby towns will speak about how they are using funding and support from the state's Community Resilience Partnership (CRP) to strengthen the resilience of their communities and adapt to increasing hazards.
Speakers: Jeff Brubaker (Town Planner, Eliot), Laurie Smith (Town Manager, Kennebunkport), Eric Labelle (Public Works, Kennebunkport), Jessica Brunacini (Wells Reserve), Liv Lenfestey (Wells Reserve)
Each speaker will highlight a specific local project they are working on, including Eliot’s climate change vulnerability assessment and flood mitigation designs in Kennebunkport, and discuss how enrollment in the CRP has helped to make these projects possible. We will discuss the background of the CRP, how it works, and what opportunities exist for Wells to benefit from this program! The evening will conclude with an audience Q&A.
Food and refreshments provided.
