A new round of grants announced this week will help a handful of Maine mill towns repurpose their former manufacturing sites for new businesses.
Millinocket, Lincoln and Ashland will receive $20,000 each, while East Millinocket and Madison will receive $30,000 each to fund projects such as engineering and site planning studies and offset state permit costs as each town continues repurposing former mill and manufacturing sites for new businesses.
