Governor Janet Mills today issued the following statement in recognition of Earth Day:
"During the first Earth Day gathering fifty-six years ago, Maine Senator Ed Muskie called for 'an environmental revolution.' He told the crowd of 30,000 to remember that 'we are not powerless to accomplish this change, but we are powerless as a people if we wait for someone else to do it for us.'"
Last week, 20 units of senior apartments in Aroostook County were preserved as affordable housing through the program signed into law by Governor Mills
Governor Janet Mills announced today that she has signed LD 2116 to extend Maine's landmark Affordable Housing Tax Credit for an additional eight years. Governor Mills established the credit program in 2020, with strong bipartisan support of the Legislature, as the largest state investment in housing in Maine's history.
