ELLSWORTH — The city of Ellsworth is considering applying to join the Maine Community Resilience Partnership. The Community Resilience Partnership assists Maine communities in reducing carbon emissions, transitioning to clean energy and becoming more resilient to the effects of hazardous weather events such as flooding, rising sea levels, extreme temperatures and public health impacts. Becoming a member of the partnership opens up new funding opportunities for the city to plan and implement priority projects that support the goals and strategies of “Maine Won’t Wait,” the state’s four-year climate action plan released in December 2020.
