Holmes was awarded for being a “Top Performer” within the company and for contributing over 25 years of service to the children of the community of Calais. Along with a framed plaque, Holmes will receive a bonus of $1,000. This is the second year that CFO has sponsored the award, which is given to up to five outstanding employees selected from various centers in Washington and Hancock counties. “This award is based on dedication and commitment to the children and families in this area,” Calais site manager Marcia Rogers says, adding, “We are very honored that Cathy was se- lected. It’s her passion that separates her, her passion to make sure kids get what they need.” Holmes has been caring for and teaching children since the local center was located at the Methodist Church on Main Street (where “the stream ran through the basement each spring”, both women recalled with nostalgic fondness). She continues to enjoy her work, and her tenure comes with additional benefits. “It’s neat that I have the kids now of moms and dads that I had when they were three or four,” she says with a luminous smile. “I love it. Seeing their smiles, their happiness, seeing them bloom from a little seed into a flower.” Cathy Holmes received special recognition on Monday for her dedication to the community and to CFO.

  • Maine Rail-Trail Plan 2020-2030
    MAINE RAIL-TRAIL PLAN 2020-2030 A Vision for Regional Train and Trail Connectivity Maine Trails Coalition www.mainetrailscoalition.org PO Box 1128 Bath, ME 04530 Release 1 (October 2020) Maine Rail-Trail Plan 2020-2030 Vision An active transportation network that preserves an inter-urban train corridor, while creating healthy and connected communities throughout the state of Maine through a biking, walking and running rail-trail system. Rail-Trail Network The Maine Rail-Trail Plan calls for the construction of thirteen specific rail-trail projects over the next decade, and at least five prospective projects for development over the following decade. Each of these projects connects with, extends, and regionalizes an existing multi-use trail infrastructure. Collectively, these eighteen projects would add roughly 250 miles of inter-connected off-road trails, transforming the Maine communities they serve. Train Service The Maine Rail-Trail Plan calls for the continuing preservation and maintenance of a separate and active rail corridor that can be used to extend future Amtrak, commuter train, and/or freight service from Boston through Maine's largest population centers in Biddeford-Saco, Portland, Brunswick, Lewiston-Auburn, Waterville, and Bangor; and with potential continuing service to Montreal and the VIA Rail Canada network. Release 1 This is the first release of this document and necessarily has omissions that should be incorporated in the plan as its vision takes shape. It is a “living” document that we plan to refine over time in consultation with local communities, regional authorities, government agencies, and the many interest groups concerned with rails and trails throughout Maine.

  • Corridor Plan (Pdf)
    Blackwoods Scenic Byway Route 182 Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan Prepared for the Maine Department of Transportation by: Hancock County Planning Commission Washington County Council of Governments Revised: June 3, 2005 Executive Summary The Blackwoods Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan marks an important step in the planning process. The section of State Highway 182 that begins on the western border of Township 10 and the Town of Franklin and extending to the intersection of Route 182 and the Calais Branch Rail alignment in Cherryfield was first designated a State Scenic Byway in 1971. At the time a small inventory of scenic assets was compiled and one public meeting was held in Cherryfield. The State Highway Commission and the Park and Recreation Commission identified six actions to be taken that included improving boat launches, clearing scenic vistas and improving turnouts. The State and National Scenic Byways Programs changed little until the mid-1990s when renewed interest in planning, promoting and preserving byways led to the designation of four national scenic byways in Maine. This milestone completed, attention shifted to updating planning documents for the existing state scenic byways. The new planning process began for Route 182 in 2003 when the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) contracted with the Hancock County Planning Commission (HCPC) and the Washington County Council of Governments (WCCOG) to prepare a Corridor Management Plan. This document represents the culmination of more than two years of research, data gathering, public meetings and writing. The plan has three major components: 1. an inventory of natural resource, recreational, historic, geological and scenic assets that is presented as a byway tour, 2.

The Commission formed by the resolve was charged with examining "the potential uses of rail service from Calais to Eastport and Brewer along existing railroad rights-of-way owned by the State." The Commission was directed to "make projections as to the volume of traffic along a developed railway, estimate costs of developing the rights-of-way and review methods of funding and implementing the development of the rights-of-way" ,and "if the Commission recommends the use of a public authority, the Commission shall also make recommendations on the membership, powers, administration and other matters related to the operation of the public authority." The Commission (see Appendix "A" for membership) contracted with Stafford Business Advisors to conduct a marketing analysis of the Calais Branch. Stafford's work was done in conjunction with a similar study funded by the Eastern Maine Railroad Development Commission, and was complemented by a Stafford report, funded by the Department of Transportation {MDOT), dated December 31, 1997, entitled "Market Reviews, Eastport Rail Study." Stafford also analyzed rail passenger potential in the Bangor to Mount Desert Island corridor, concurrent with an MDOT study of the Rte.
