AI Summary
This bill provides one-time funding of $1,000,000 in the 2025-26 fiscal year to the Maine Community College System for specific climate resiliency projects at Southern Maine Community College. The funding is aimed at supporting the repair of historic campus structures that are not directly related to educational purposes, but are used by the community for active transportation and outdoor recreation. These projects will specifically focus on areas of the campus that are vulnerable to environmental challenges such as sea level rise, increased flooding, erosion, and potential structural damage. By allocating these funds, the bill seeks to encourage additional private and federal investments in infrastructure improvements that can help the campus adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change, while also preserving historic structures and maintaining community-accessible infrastructure for transportation and recreational activities.
