A public meeting is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6, on Zoom and in the West Paris town office at 25 Kingsbury St. to inform West Paris’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership.

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 the 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, missing a work shift) to participate can email resilience@ecologybasedeconomy.org or call 207-739-2101.

For more information and an optional registration, visit ecologybasedeconomy.org.
