An Act to Expand Coastal Workforce Housing in Maine’s Working Waterfront Communities
This bill lets certain Maine fishing and port towns create special housing zones to speed up year-round affordable homes, ADUs, and mixed-use housing, while offering state grants, financing, and tax incentives for projects serving local workers. It aims to keep working waterfront communities livable for fishermen, teachers, health care staff, and other essential employees through affordability and occupancy requirements.
