# Maine Establishes Infrastructure Resilience Commission

Governor Janet Mills signed an executive order establishing a 24-member Maine Infrastructure Rebuilding and Resilience Commission after damaging winter storms. The commission was tasked with identifying near-term investments by November 2024 and developing Maine’s first long-term infrastructure resilience plan by May 2025; both target dates have passed, and the signal does not confirm whether the deliverables were completed. Maine also enacted $60 million in storm-recovery funding, with applications reported available through MaineDOT, the Department of Marine Resources, and the Department of Economic and Community Development on May 21, 2024. The announcement does not identify a specific RFP or contract, or establish that applications remain open.

- The $60 million represents a state funding stream for storm recovery, not a single identified contract. Contractors should check the named agencies’ application channels for any currently available funding or related procurements.
- Infrastructure firms, resilience planners, and engineering providers may find the commission’s priorities and long-term plan useful for identifying state needs; the signal does not establish an active solicitation.
