  2. Midcoast [#Maine] Regional Redevelopment Authority executive director steps down after [toxic firefighting] foam spill

    Story by WGME Staff
    October 10, 2024

    BRUNSWICK (WGME) -- "The executive director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority is stepping down.

    "The #MRRA Board of Trustees says #KristineLogan has resigned.

    "Last month, a group of Brunswick leaders and legislators called for Logan's resignation after hundreds of gallons of toxic #firefighting foam spilled in August, more than a year after a report warned that the system was 'deficient.'

    "The #BrunswickMaine leaders say they want the group to have increased oversight and accountability."
