An upcoming public meeting aims to inform Hanover residents about the town’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership.

The gathering is set for 5:30-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5, in the Gem Theater at 48 Cross St. in Bethel, as well as on Zoom.

Community members are invited to the public workshop about this program that helps communities reduce energy usage and emissions while adapting to extreme weather, flooding, and other climate impacts through direct support and grants of up to $50,000.

The Center for an Ecology-Based Economy will review the partnership, facilitate a discussion about current and future climate-related impacts in western Maine, and welcome ideas for a resilient Hanover.

Refreshments will be provided. Those who would like Zoom access or a stipend (to cover costs of childcare, transportation, missing a work shift, etc.) to participate can contact the center at resilience@ecologybasedeconomy.org or 207-739-2101.

Visit ecologybasedeconomy.org for more information and an optional registration.
