An Act To Fund Climate Resiliency Projects Related To The Repair Of Campus Infrastructure Used For Active Transportation And Outdoor Recreation
This bill allocates $1 million from the General Fund to support climate resiliency projects at Southern Maine Community College. It targets historic campus structures used by the public for active transportation (like walking/biking paths) and outdoor recreation, focusing on areas vulnerable to sea level rise, flooding, and erosion. The funding is one-time and aims to encourage matching investments from private sources and federal programs. It directly affects the college's non-educational infrastructure that serves community members.
