WEST PARIS — A public meeting to inform West Paris’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership is set to be held in person and via Zoom at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21, in the West Paris Town Office at 25 Kingsbury St.

Community members are invited to a public workshop to inform West Paris’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership, a program that helps communities reduce energy usage and emissions while adapting to extreme temperatures, flooding and other climate impacts through direct support and grants of up to $50,000, according to a news release from Claire McGlinchey, Climate Resiliency Program manager with the Center for an Ecology-Based Economy.

The center will review Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership, facilitate a discussion about current and future climate-related impacts in western Maine, and welcome ideas for a resilient West Paris.

Refreshments will be provided. Those who would like Zoom access or a stipend (e.g. to cover costs of childcare, transportation and missing a work shift) to participate can contact the Center for an Ecology-Based Economy at resilience@ecologybasedeconomy.org or 207-739-2101.
