MDI Biological Laboratory receives grant to improve access to safe drinking water
The MDI Biological Laboratory will collaborate with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an office of the state Department of Health and Human Services, on a five-year grant from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to improve access to safe drinking water in Maine.
The mitigation of contaminants, especially arsenic, in well water is the subject of the laboratory s federally funded SEPA (Science Education Partnership Award) program, which teaches data literacy to secondary school students by analyzing data from well water collected from their homes. The grant from the Maine CDC will fund the testing of 500 wells from student households in Maine in coordination with the SEPA program.

The grant will fund the testing of private wells, which are frequently contaminated with high levels of naturally occurring arsenic.
SHELBURNE â âI was just doing my due diligence; I had a bunch of questions about the Riverlands project,â District 1 Executive Councilor Joe Kenney (R-Wakefield) said when asked why at the Feb. 3 governor and Executive Council meeting he had tabled a motion on a grant for the Androscoggin Riverlands Project.
âMy attention is drawn whenever I see a large swath of land in my district being transferred where state dollars are involved,â he said at an interview on Feb. 19 at the Town & Country Inn.
Kenney tabled a motion authorizing the N.H. Department of Environmental Services to award a $761,668 Aquatic Resource Mitigation Fund grant to the Maine-based Mahoosuc Land Trust.

MANCHESTER, NH – It’s been two years in the making but it’s finally move-in day at the Factory on Willow, something like Manchester has never seen before. Now open for living and creating, 61 units that double as workspace tucked inside a modern open-concept “smart-building” interior wrapped in a renovated 1880 stately brick factory.
Turning the defunct Cohas Shoe manufacturing plant into apartments where tenants are invited to work, live, create and connect has been no small feat for Liz Hitchcock and her team at Orbit Group, pushing the limits of what already exists with this project by planting the seeds of Manchester’s future all around it.
