Senator Collins Secures $3.1 Million for Loring Commerce Centre Included in Transportation Funding Bill

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senator Susan Collins, the Ranking Member of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee, announced today that she secured $3,100,000 for infrastructure improvements at the Loring Commerce Centre in the draft Fiscal Year 2022 Transportation Appropriations bill that has been released by the Senate Appropriations Committee.  The legislation must still be voted upon by the full Senate and House.

“The Loring Commerce Centre is a business incubator that is home to dozens of companies and hundreds of jobs,” said Senator Collins.  “This investment would allow this commercial, industrial, and aviation park to better serve its existing tenants while helping to attract new businesses and jobs to Aroostook County.  I will continue to champion this funding as the appropriations process moves forward.”

If enacted into law, the Loring Development Authority will use this funding to make roadway improvements and demolish substandard, blighted structures at Loring Commerce Centre in Limestone.
