This plan contains 2,193 individual work items with a total value of $2.44 billion, consisting principally of work to be delivered or coordinated through MaineDOT, but also including funding and work delivered by other transportation agencies that receive federal funds directly including airports and transit agencies. Although I have the pleasure of presenting this plan, it is really the product of staff efforts dating back to the summer of last year.

  • Natural Resources Chapter
    Natural Resources Chapter (For review – September 8, 2015) Vision: Richmond residents are responsible stewards of our natural resources, including open space, forest, water bodies and wetlands. We balance growth and development with the preservation, promotion and continued accessibility of our resources for recreation, wildlife habitat, agriculture, and scenic values. Introduction This chapter provides a summary about the natural systems which comprise Richmond’s physical environment. The following areas will be discussed to determine how our natural features relate to the overall health and vitality of the town and its future development and land use patterns: geology, topography, soils, surface and ground water, land cover, and unique natural areas and wildlife habitat. A realistic assessment and appreciation of our environmental features will allow us to both identify constraints on development and to identify areas appropriate for development where negative impacts to natural resources are minimal and costs are lower for construction. The town’s natural resources are regulated by a combination of federal, state and local laws and regulations and often address the same feature. Some resources require multiple levels of review and approval before land development may occur while others are less restrictive. The information provided in this chapter is designed to help the community understand its natural resources and make sure land use planning and development occurs in such a way that future generations can enjoy the values and beauty of the town. Watersheds Richmond is divided into eight major watersheds, each with its own physical characteristics, natural environments and patterns of development. All of the land area within the town eventually drains into the Kennebec River.

Halsey Davis of Falmouth, Maine, in support of their concern for protection of the environment and conservation of our natural resources. Its broad purpose is the wise utilization, protection and advancement of our physical environment and the different natural forms of life which inhabit it – including wildlife, sea life and mankind as they are impacted by the environment. The Foundation supports organizations whose areas of interest include projects and activities related to wildlife, wildlife habitat, environmental protection or outdoor recreation. Projects which strengthen volunteer activity and outreach/community involvement in the above categories are of particular interest. Policies and Application Procedure The Foundation accepts applications only from organizations that are tax- exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code and not private foundations under Section 509(a) of the code. The Foundation has a 509(a)(3) status and is prohibited from making grants to other 509(a)(3) organizations. The Foundation will need evidence of the applicant’s 501(c)(3) and 509(a) status.

  • 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.
