Responsible Department: Economic Development
Commentary:
The Community Gateways Program Competition is a Maine Department of Transportation
program designed to assist Maine communities to enhance transportation corridors and
community landscapes for the people they serve. The program provides an opportunity to
request funding for $500 W $10,000 that must be matched by community involvement,
volunteerism and public participation.
The City of Bongoes grant proposal is for the improvement of Davenport Park. The proposal
will address improvements of landscaping, walkways, benches, trash receptacles and other
amenities in this public park that is located at a gateway N Downtown Bangor.
We expect that if this grant is awarded, a large portion of the match will be provided by
services performed by the Public Services Department Additional funding is available from
the U.S.S. Maine Improvement Fund, which was established by the U.S.S. Maine Centennial
Committee several years ago.
