Workers laid off from Maine Military Authority in Limestone will benefit from a nearly $500,000 federal grant.
The U.S. Department of Labor is awarding a $463,083 National Emergency Grant to the Maine labor department to help employees laid off from the military vehicle refurbishing facility, according to a press release from U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud and U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. The money will help workers train for positions in high-growth industries, including health care, leisure and hospitality, business services and retail trade. In March, Maine Military Authority laid off 150 of its 350-person work force due to a dropoff in federal work orders. Earlier this week, the company announced new work from the U.S. Army National Guard will keep staff busy until 2012 and prevent another layoff of 50 workers this summer.
The grant will be administered by the Aroostook/Washington Counties Workforce Investment Board. National Emergency Grants are provided in response to large, unexpected economic events that lead to significant job losses.
