This workshop, held in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and Maine Audubon Society, provides information to help with applying to the MaineDOT's Municipal Stream Crossing Program. Applications are due January 19, 2024.

Midcoast Council of Governments (MCOG), Maine Audubon, and the Nature Conservancy have created an informational video to assist municipalities with the grant application process for Maine Department of Transportation's (MaineDOT) Municipal Stream Crossing Program. This video begins with an overview of the program and types of projects that are a good fit, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough of the application and requirements, and ends with some anticipated questions and answers. This video is intended to compliment the information available on MaineDOT's website: https://www.maine.gov/mdot/grants/stream/
