U.S. Senator Susan Collins today applauded the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority's announcement that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has committed to establishing a permanent campus location at the redeveloped Brunswick Naval Air Station.
“This commitment from Embry-Riddle recognizes the outstanding work performed by the Brunswick Local Redevelopment Authority. Ever since the disappointing decision was made to close the Brunswick Naval Air Station, the Brunswick LRA has worked tirelessly to mitigate the economic consequences. Today’s announcement is a major step in the right direction the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority now continues its important work to redevelop the base. Embry-Riddle’s decision to maintain its presence here will help attract other high-quality tenants and will help facilitate early success of the community-driven reuse plan.”
