In 2020, Boothbay received approval for a $250,000 federal grant and a local match from Southport businessman Paul Coulombe to upgrade Clifford Park. Town Manager Dan Bryer expects work to begin next summer which will provide a long overdue park renovation. While the funding arrives in the future, Bryer credits past work of a group of community members in making the project a reality. The project began last year with a major assist from Farrin & Sons, Boothbay resident Tom Nickerson, Boothbay Civic Association and Boothbay Region Water District.

As we send our students home today for the holidays in what has been a challenging academic year, I am thrilled to announce a very significant financial contribution we recently received. Mr. Paul Coulombe sent to the Boothbay Region Education Foundation (BREF), a check for over $128,000, specifically to pay for major improvements to the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) programs at Boothbay Region Elementary School and Boothbay Region High School. His contributions give us access to cutting-edge hardware and software, we will use to engage students in 21st-century learning initiatives.

Boothbay is anxious to begin Clifford Park renovations, but it looks like the project will not begin until at least early summer. The town was recently notified it qualified for a federal $250,000 Land and Water Grant and another $250,000 from local businessman Paul Coulombe as part of a required local match. “There is a glut of federal grants, and ours won’t be processed until early summer. We planned an aggressive approach seeking engineering and other bids this spring, but it’s looking more like June, at the earliest, before getting started,” Town Manager Dan Bryer said.
