Last update: 9 hours ago

Heating Costs: MaineHousing released nearly $4 million in early heating aid for about 4,400 households as fuel prices climb. The federal government also plans to loan nearly a third of the Northeast heating oil reserve; roughly half of Maine homes rely on heating oil. Seafood Industry: Record diesel prices are squeezing seafood businesses, driving up costs for fishing vessels, trucking and other parts of the supply chain. Business Priorities: Maine’s gubernatorial candidates are set to address Portland business leaders on housing, workforce needs, health care, taxes and federal policy. Local Business: A locally owned burger restaurant plans to open in downtown Bangor next month, while Hannaford has restored its website, app and To-Go service after a weeklong outage.
