Alex joined staff from Senator Collins and King’s offices, along with others for today’s ribbon cutting for Lincoln Hospital’s new Oncology Infusion Center, which will significantly increase Lincoln County’s access to oncology treatment.

In addition to expanded access, the new center couldn’t have a more beautiful view or more natural light.

Alex visited with Boothbay Sea and Science Center this week for the Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce’s after-hours. Aside from being a gorgeous location and full of inspiring and dedicated people, this organization instills confidence in young people, sparks impressive marine careers, and provides access to some of the best waterfront in Maine.

Founded in 2011, BBSSC has a strong board, many of whom spoke about how their children were changed through the organization’s programs. Board President Pauline Dion led the informational portion of the event.

“The mission of this organization is the advancement of sailing, boating and ocean sciences by minimizing economic and physical obstacles and further to develop independence, self-confidence, teamwork and volunteerism in the participants. To inspire individuals to strengthen themselves and their community through the enjoyment of the sea.”

Laura, our Community Resilience Planner, and Erin, our Land Use and Transportation Planner, headed to Deer Isle and Stonington earlier this week for a tour of resilience projects - including a causeway that was raised 4 feet to better protect the road from flooding.

They joined folks from Maine Sea Grant, UMaine, Maine State Resilience Office, and the Community Resilience Partnership to see resilience solutions in action, as well as hear how these communities are addressing housing concerns.

Staff set sail for Monhegan today (thanks, Hardy Boat Cruises!) to visit the Island to talk housing, resilience, and community needs. We enjoyed visits with the Monhegan School, Monhegan First Aid Station, the Plantation Office, the Library, and shop owners.

It’s always a pleasure to meet with the communities we serve, especially on a picturesque day like today!

Alex joined the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development’s Business Department team for a tour of Hodgdon Yachts in Southport, Community Shellfish in Bremen, and Ocean Organics in Waldoboro.

Each of these blue economy businesses are impressive and make a huge impact on our county and state. We thank Ben Sturtevant and Jake Daniele from DECD, along with the business owners and staff we met with today from each company. Especially on such a hot day!

We are honored to show state officials innovative, resilient, and strong businesses in our region!

On Monday, Emily and Alex had the opportunity to sit in on a community discussion on conceptual housing opportunities in the Twin Villages.

The conversations were robust, with workshop participants learning about each project, sharing their thoughts on the positives and challenges for each, and offering input on the concept plans.

We look forward to seeing these projects continue to advance from concepts to the next stage of planning!
