LD 1182 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Grant The Rockland Port District An Increase In Its Borrowing Capacity And Include Sustainable Aquaculture And Marine Industries In Its Charter

LD 1182 increases the Rockland Port District's maximum borrowing capacity from $600,000 to $6 million, enabling larger infrastructure investments. The bill explicitly adds "sustainable aquaculture and marine industries" to the district's charter, authorizing it to develop facilities for these sectors. This change directly affects the Rockland Port District (a local government entity in Rockland, Maine) and businesses operating in sustainable aquaculture and marine industries. The district can now use the increased borrowing authority to finance commercial docking, wharf facilities, and related infrastructure supporting these economic activities.
