Dear Subscribers,

This week is one of transition for many of us and so we're taking this opportunity to re-run a few items below with one new event - Movies in the Park on Brunswick Landing! The MARC will host the first ever iteration of this summer series on September 21st, featuring Barbie! Many groups came together to make this happen, we're thrilled to see it coming to fruition!

As fall-out from the AFFF spill continues, I've listed some resources for information going forward. We'll continue to pass along information as it becomes available.

Happy Fall!

AFFF Spill Updates and Resources

This event is still very much an evolving situation so our primary objective at this point is to highlight resources to help keep you and your families safe. The Brunswick Town Council passed an unprecedented resolution last night - you can read more about it in today's Times Record.

The town of Brunswick has a page on their website dedicated to a variety of links.

• You can submit questions and concerns via this Google doc. Senator Mattie Daughtry is spearheading this effort.
• DEP updates: sampling of ground water has expanded in recent days per the state DEP website.
• Information on PFAS levels in public water systems.
• MRRA is updating their website regularly (scroll to the bottom) with information. The most recent update is from yesterday, September 3rd.
• MRRA has also compiled a list of FAQs.

As a community, it's also important to acknowledge the frustrations of many business owners and residents with the communication around the spill. The BBRC also conducts business on Brunswick Landing and we are as concerned as anyone else. We are happy to help be a conduit for feedback and concerns as well - feel free to email Cory at cory@midcoastmaine.com.
