State applies for federal grant to build wind port on #SearsIsland
PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 17, 2024
"The Mills administration said Friday it’s seeking $456 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation to build an offshore wind port at #SearsIsland, angering local opponents who say the state is bypassing an alternative at nearby #MackPoint before a study analyzing both sites has even been started. A study is set to be done assessing Sears Island and Mack Point, which is favored by many local residents because it already has an #industrial area. Sears Island has been spared previous #development attempts. The project has divided #environmentalists who support Maine’s foray into wind power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but disagree on where to build a port to support the project."
