Bill > LD1995

This bill requires the Maine Office of Community Affairs to create and maintain a technical assistance materials hub, which is essentially a centralized online resource providing communities with comprehensive information on topics like planning, climate resilience, housing, and development. The hub will be developed through coordination with tribal, state, regional, and local entities, and will offer a variety of resources including data projections, visualization tools, searchable research libraries, funding opportunity information, and best practice project examples. The office must regularly update the hub to ensure the materials remain current and relevant. By establishing this centralized information source, the bill aims to help decision-makers access valuable resources that can support more informed community planning and development strategies. The hub is designed to be a one-stop information platform that integrates diverse data and research to assist communities across Maine in addressing complex planning and development challenges.
