Time & Location

Oct 01, 2024, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

GMRI, 350 Commercial St, Portland, ME 04101

About the event

The Maine Legislature selects and the Governor approves projects they believe should be funded from money borrowed through general obligation bonds. In early 2024, they approved 3 bonds to be on the ballot in November: $30M for Trails, $25M for R&D, and $10M for historic buildings. (details on the State website).  Some of these funds will flow to entities affiliated with E2Tech, hence this informational program. 

Join us on Tuesday, October 1st from 5-7 pm at GMRI, 350 Commerical Street, Portland, for drinks, conversation, connection and presentations from leaders from the Maine Technology Institute, Maine Outdoor Brands, and Maine Preservation.
