THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Calais accepted $590,508 from the Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Grant to improve its waterfront walkway and related infrastructure. Follow-up notes say the city continues to receive pier reconstruction cost estimates, and the grant will fund waterfront walkway improvements. This points to design, construction, and amenities work where engineering, construction, and specialty vendors can support scope refinement, permitting, and phased delivery.
Northern Border Regional Commission Catalyst Grant is the primary funding source for waterfront walkway; related pier reconstruction costs under evaluation.
