TEMPLE — Community members are encouraged to participate in a public workshop set for 6:30-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, at the Temple Town Office, 258 Temple Road.
The workshop is intended to inform the town’s enrollment in Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership, a program that 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 $75,000.
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. To date, the partnership has awarded nearly $8.5 million for projects in more than 150 communities across the state.
By attending, community members can help Temple prioritize resilience projects that include energy efficiency upgrades and weatherization, watershed protection, and extreme weather planning.
All are welcome to attend the workshop; youth participation is encouraged.
Those who need remote access, a stipend, or other accommodations to participate may contact Temple’s service provider, Center for an Ecology-Based Economy.
For more information, email [email protected] or call 207-739-2101.
