TEMPLE — The public workshop set for 6:30-8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23 at the Temple Town Office at 258 Temple Road has been postponed. The town’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership is the focus of the workshop. A new date will be announced for October.
The program helps communities reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while adapting to extreme weather, flooding and other climate impacts through direct support and grants of up to $50,000.
Temple is one of 13 towns in Franklin County — including Farmington, Wilton, Avon, and Strong — that have enrolled or are currently enrolling in the partnership. The partnership has awarded nearly $8.5 million for projects in over 150 communities across the state, according to a news release from the organization.
By attending the workshop, community members can help Temple prioritize resilience projects that range from energy efficiency upgrades and weatherization to watershed protection and extreme weather planning.
All are welcome to attend and youth participation is encouraged. Compensation and a Zoom option are available upon request.
Those who need remote access, a stipend, or other accommodations to participate may contact Temple’s service provider, Center for an Ecology-Based Economy.
