Some 40 businesses across Maine will share $2 million in funding to cover damage from winter storms in December 2023 and January 2024, Gov. Janet Mills announced Monday.
Recipients include Blackpoint Stone Point Oysters LLC in Nobleboro, which will receive $50,000, and Paul E. Luke Inc., the company that owns East Boothbay's Luke's Boatyard, which was awarded $100,000.
"This money means we can maintain our connection to the maritime community and continue to provide services to the wide variety of boaters we have loved interacting with for over 80 years," said Andrew Luke, vice president of operations at Luke's Boatyard.
The $2 million in grants represent the last of a $60 million storm relief package approved by state lawmakers last year.
"The storms of last winter remain a stark reminder of the vulnerability our people, businesses and communities to serious flooding, storm surge, heavy winds and lashing rains," Mills said in Monday’s announcement.
"Recovering from the damage takes time, and I'm grateful to the Legislature for their support of the historic $60 million storm relief package enacted last year, which is continuing to help Maine businesses rebuild and be ready for the weather challenges of the future.”
