AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Data Centers in Maine: A South Portland panel revisited how new data centers could affect Maine’s power and water, after Gov. Janet Mills vetoed a bill that would have blocked new builds; developers argued they’d plug into existing power, while environmentalists raised PFAS and discharge concerns, and Maine’s data center advisory council is set to weigh in. Housing & Jobs: Portland restaurant owners say summer staffing is constrained less by interest in work and more by the lack of affordable housing near jobs, forcing longer commutes or pushing workers out of the city. PFAS Cleanup: Maine’s PFAS Fund closed on buying a second impacted farm property, Green Earth, expanding the state’s efforts to support affected farmers and study PFAS movement in agricultural systems. Senior Food Support: Enrollment for the Maine Senior FarmShare Program opens June 1, aiming to connect older adults with Maine-grown produce while supporting local farms. Maine Politics: The Susan Collins–Graham Platner clash over Iraq War votes and enlistment claims intensified, with Collins pushing back on Platner’s framing. Public Safety: Police say a stolen dump truck chase tied three Massachusetts residents to Maine, after the suspects allegedly rammed a cruiser before being arrested.
