OTISFIELD — The first of two public meetings will be held on Monday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Otisfield Community Hall. Otisfield community members are encouraged to attend a public meeting on July 25 to share their thoughts on Otisfield’s climate resilience and learn about Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership. This first of two meetings, facilitated by the Center for an Ecology-Based Economy (CEBE), will guide Otisfield’s enrollment in this state program that helps Maine communities reduce emissions and prepare for the effects of climate change through direct support and grants of up to $50,000.

Community members will have the opportunity to share their perspectives on current resilience efforts and challenges. They will also help prioritize a set of community actions that range from installation of municipal heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers, or renewable energy projects, to strengthening local food systems or preserving climate-threatened natural areas.

All are welcome to attend the first meeting on Monday, July 25 at 6 p.m. in the Otisfield Community Hall (292 Route 121). Those who need remote access, a stipend, or other accommodations to participate may contact the Center for an Ecology-Based Economy. For more information, email [email protected] or call 207-739-2101.
