Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 23rd of June.
Good morning, Bangor.
🏛️ Government
Governor Mills is traveling to Canada today to strengthen economic ties after cross-border travel dropped due to federal tariff uncertainty + she will meet with Saint John business leaders before meeting New Brunswick and Nova Scotia officials on Tuesday and Wednesday and returning to Maine on Thursday.
Bangor firefighters will build a new $703,000 live training facility using cargo shipping containers—allowing it to be reconfigured for active fire training—by May 2026.
The department received a $679,000 grant and added $24,000 to serve over 100 departments statewide.
🏥 Health
The closure of HEAL in Bangor in March ended long-standing health services, leaving parts of eastern Maine without state-certified syringe programs.
A Deer Isle-Stonington group is working to restart a syringe exchange once a month — while other organizations try to fill the gap with limited services.
