The $5 million Riverfront Community Development Bond offers the citizens of Maine an unprecedented opportunity to revitalize their communities and rivers. By creating a competitive grants program to support voluntary, community-driven projects across Maine, the bond: promotes environmentally sustainable economic activity along rivers; restores and improves habitat for fish and wildlife; develops and promotes public access points for boating and fishing; creates riverfront parks, trails, and other recreational amenities; and leverages other public resources and private investment. The final bond package approved by Maine voters also included $3 million for working waterfront and $7.5 million for state parks, $1.5 million for the Agricultural Water Source Development Program, and $1.5 million for the Municipal Investment Trust Fund.
