Twin Trucks- Purchased in 2009 for $435,000/ each
Both trucks have high use and mileage
E-1 has 91,258 miles and 6931 hours
E-3 has 91,261 miles and 7023 hours
ESTIMATED COST $1,250,000
NOTE: At idle average 30-33 mph that means
E-1 has 207,930 miles
Create separation of the two trucks for replacement
-Would make the replacement schedule easier, not 2 trucks at same time
E-3 has 210,690 miles
-Need to spread the replacements out/Consistent schedule - 5,6 or 7 years
What used to be 25-year replacement, more like 15-20 years
-Hoping that separating will help with life span.
-Other option is to add a 4th engine to the fleet

To the Town Council of the Town of Brunswick, Maine:
In accordance with the Charter of the Town of Brunswick, Maine, the proposed General Fund budget
for the period July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 is presented for your consideration. It combines the
municipal services budget, as proposed by the Town Manager, with the education budget, as
proposed by the School Board. The County tax levy is added to these to produce a total budget, which
becomes the basis for the property tax levy – by far, the largest funding source. Based on an estimate
provided by the Town Assessor, this proposed budget assumes a 1% valuation increase.
Total Annual Operating Budget
Combining the increases in the municipal and school budgets, along with the increase in the County
tax, results in an increase of $4,117,605 in the total amount to be raised from property taxes, a 6.58%
increase over 2025-26. A summary of the budget components and their impact on the property tax
levy can be found on pages 4 and 5 of the budget document.

While this budget document contains the total proposed revenues and expenditures for both
municipal and school operations, it only includes details for the municipal departments. The School
Department’s totals are incorporated in this document as proposed by the School Board. The details
of the school budget are available from the School Department.
Annual Operating Budget
The 2026-27 budget follows two years of budgets which were developed with the understanding that
the 2025-26 property revaluation would result in a shift of the tax burden from commercial to
residential properties, leading all Town departments to make significant effort to limit the increase
in the amount to be raised from taxes. As expected, the 2026-27 budget reflects a backlog of cost
increases that were postponed over the past two years.
In the municipal departments, we are facing the reality that current staffing levels are not adequate
to manage the increase in workload resulting from a larger population, additional property
responsibilities, and the priorities expressed by the Town Council. Responding to increasing
expectations and the demands associated with being a service center community, we continue to
www.brunswickme.org
focus on sustaining the commitment made to infrastructure and facilities maintenance, while finding
creative solutions to lower costs and maximize efficiencies. I would be remiss if I didn’t emphasize
the reality of the challenges within the 2026-27 budget. To get to the numbers proposed here, the
Manager’s Proposed Budget includes $1,742,852 in decreases to department requested
expenditures, and $170,331 in increases to estimated revenues and other sources.
Municipal Services Budget
The major changes in the year over year budget are described below.
Municipal Expenditures
The Manager’s Proposed Budget includes expenditure increases of $1,677,494, or 3.99% over the
2025-26 adopted budget. Of note in the increases in this year’s expenditure budget:
•
•
•
Personnel – Salaries and benefits continue to comprise the largest portion of the
municipal expenditure budget, and the majority of the increase. The salaries and benefits
lines are increasing by approximately $1,584,845 or 6.8%. This budget includes the
addition of several new positions staggered during the year, all of which are in response
to increased demands for municipal services.
Contractual – This category includes a range of services and allocations, and in total adds
$202,214, or 2.1% to the budget. The largest contributor to this increase is the $81,207
increase in contributions to People Plus/Teen Center and the Curtis Memorial Library.
Note that these reflect a reduction from the amount requested to bring the total to a 4%
increase for each entity.
Transfers to Other Funds – This category is increasing by $10,000. In the effort to reduce
the expenditure budget, the proposed budget includes no increases to the funding of the
reserves, with the exception of adding a small reserve for implementation of the Climate
Action Plan.
Municipal Revenues and Other Sources
Municipal non-property tax revenues and other sources have presented a significant challenge in
the 2026-27 budget. In total, revenues and other sources is projected to increase only slightly –
by $130,465, or 0.71%. For context, municipal sources over the past 20 years have increased an
average of 4.8%. As one might expect, when the increase in sources is less than the rate of
inflation, we start the budget development process at a disadvantage.
The two largest municipal non-property tax revenues are vehicle excise tax and state revenue
sharing and excise tax.
•
•
Revenue Sharing – The budget projects a decrease of $360,164 in State Revenue Sharing
(SRS) funds. The budget estimate of $5,571,136 is based on the estimates provided by
the State Treasurer’s office, and reflects the State’s Revenue Forecasting Committee’s
projections. As discussed over the past several months, actual State Revenue Sharing
receipts have been less than anticipated in the 2025-26 budget, and the 2026-27 forecast
reflects this trend.
Excise Tax – The budget projects receipts of $4,500,000, an increase of $400,000 over
the current year’s budget. Excise tax receipts in 2025-26 to date have exceeded
expectations, and we will continue to monitor this trend and adjust our projections if
necessary.
The Manager’s Proposed Budget includes use of $786,000 in general fund balance to reduce taxes.
This is a reduction of $134,000 from the amount used in the 2025-26 budget, which included
$150,000 to cover one-time costs in 2025-26.
•
•
$626,000, representing 1% of the 2025-26 tax revenue, is used to reduce taxes in
accordance with the Town’s Fund Balance Policy.
$160,000 to offset the fourth of five years scheduled to pay the additional County tax that
resulted from the County’s change from a calendar year to a fiscal year in 2023.
The Manager’s Proposed Budget also includes use of a total of $200,000 in State revenue
balances, a reduction of $300,000 from 2025-26. These balances reflect amounts accumulated in
years when actual receipts exceeded the amounts anticipated in the budget and are restricted for
use to reduce taxes.
•
•
$100,000 from State Revenue Sharing Balance, a reduction of $400,000 from the 202526 budget of $500,000 from this source. As actual State Revenue Sharing revenues have
been significantly lower than anticipated during the year, the balance has been drawn
down, leaving very little balance for use in the 2026-27 budget.
$100,000 from State Highway Grant Balance. This revenue source does not fluctuate as
much as State Revenue Sharing, and the balance has never been significant.
Education Budget
The budget delivered by the School Board proposes a total budget increase of $3,478,274, or 6.03%.
Due to an increase of $1,519,704 in anticipated State Aid to Education, and an increase in other
revenues of $20,000, offset by a decrease in use of fund balance of $250,000, the budget increase in
the property tax requirement is $2,188,570 or 5.98%. This translates to a 2.89% tax rate increase.
The School Department will make its budget presentation to the Town Council on Monday, April 13th,
and the details of the education budget will be provided under separate cover.
County Tax
The 2026-27 budget includes the Cumberland County tax levy in two sections, with a total increase
over 2025-26 of $382,460, or 17.53%.
• The 2026-27 levy of $2,407,770, an increase of $382,460, or 18.88%. As noted during the
budget workshops, this increase is significantly more than in a typical year. The major driver
of the County’s tax increase is the loss of federal revenue for the County jail. While the total
County tax increased by 12.93%, the distribution of the tax over the state equalized
valuations of the Cumberland County municipalities resulted in a larger share for Brunswick.
• The amount of $156,447 related to the County’s 2023 change from calendar year to fiscal year
budgeting. The Town entered into an agreement to pay the additional 6-month assessment
over 5 years at $156,447 per year, and 2026-27 is the fourth year of payments. As noted
above, this budget proposal includes using general fund balance in the amount of $160,000
to offset this third payment.
Capital Budget
In accordance with the Town’s Fund Balance Policy, the amount of Unassigned General Fund
Balance over the target is to be used for capital or one-time expenditures. In the Manager’s
Proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2027-2031 I have proposed that Fund Balance in
the amount of $1,220,000 be used to fund the following:
•
•
•
•
Richards Drive Culvert - $450,000
Noble Street Improvements Design/Engineering - $100,000
Brunswick High School Window Replacements - $465,000
Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School Heat Pumps - $205,000
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Budget
The TIF budget for 2026-27 provides details for the sources and uses of funds generated in the
Town’s TIF Districts. The largest uses of the TIF funds include the match for a Maine DOT Municipal
Partnership Initiatives (MPI) grant which the Town applies for each year, and allocations for the
Cook’s Corner Revitalization projects. In the TIF budget, you will also see funds budgeted to be
transferred to the General Fund to support qualifying activities. These include transit-oriented uses
such as the subsidy for the Train Station/Visitors Center, the MetroBreez and the Brunswick Link.
Economic development costs are also eligible for TIF funding, such as the Brunswick Downtown
Association allocation. If the budget for those items is reduced, the transfer from the TIFs would also
be reduced, as TIF funds can only be used for qualifying expenditures.
Acknowledgements
I am grateful to the Town’s department heads and their staff for their daily contributions to the
community and for their efforts in the development of this budget. I have relied on their expertise
and experience to ensure that we maintain high standards in our delivery of services to Brunswick
residents, while realizing cost savings however possible.
Thank you to the Town Council for your good communication during this process. I look forward to
discussing the 2025-26 budget with you over the next weeks.

Employee benefits are distributed to the various departments where the salaries and wages are budgeted. The total amount distributed is
indicated above. See the department budgets for distribution detail. A description of the benefits follows.
Social Security and Medicare: Brunswick extended Social Security benefits to eligible municipal employees, not including police and firefighters, in 1959. In 1963 the
Town extended coverage to police officers; full-time firefighters are still not covered. This appropriation funds the employer contribution of 6.2% to Social Security and
1.45% to Medicare. Full-time firefighters have Medicare coverage only.
Maine Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML): The 2024/2025 State biennial budget included the creation of the Paid Family and Medical Leave program. Beginning in 2026,
eligible workers in the private and public sector will have up to 12 weeks of paid time off available to care for a family member with a serious health condition, to bond with a
child after birth, fostering or adoption, to care for their own medical needs, to deal with the transition of a family member’s impending military deployment or to stay safe
after abuse or violence. Starting January 1st, 2025, any employer with at least one Maine-based employee must begin payroll withholdings for their employees. Employers
with 15 or more employees will contribute 1% of wages and may deduct up to half of the contribution from the employees’ wages.
Maine Public Employees Retirement System: Brunswick joined the Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS) as a participating district on July 1, 1950.
Firefighters and Police have special plan provisions that allow them to retire after 20 or 25 years of service, regardless of age. The Town's contribution rates to MainePERS
are established annually by an actuarial analysis. In 2026-27, the employer contribution rate for firefighters is 13.2% and 14.1% for police officers. For all other employees
the rate is 10.2%.
Health Benefit: Includes funding for both health insurance and health insurance buy-back. Health insurance is provided through the Maine Municipal Employees Health
Trust (MMEHT), and the Town pays 80% of the premium while employees pay 20%. The budget reflects an estimated rate increase of 10% for January 1, 2027. Buy-back is
a cash payment for those who elect not to take health insurance. The rate per eligible employee for 2026-27 is $21,000, which represents a blended rate of all coverage
options.
Life Insurance: Brunswick adopted the MainePERS Life Insurance Program in 1956 for the benefit of employees wishing to participate. At present, the Town pays only the
cost of insurance for certain retired municipal and school employees. The contribution rate is determined annually on an actuarial basis.
Medical/Dependent Care: The Town offers employees the opportunity to participate in medical reimbursement and dependent care reimbursement programs. This
represents administrative and other Town costs associated with these programs.
Deferred Compensation: The Town matches up to 6% for employees who contribute to the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan and who are not enrolled in the Maine Public

In addition to responding to fire calls, the Fire Department handles emergency medical calls. All of the Firefighters are required to maintain an Emergency
Medical Technician License. Fourteen firefighters are licensed at the Advanced level allowing them to use the defibrillator, administering IV therapy, performing
advanced airway procedures, and administering a limited number of medications. The Department has twenty-two Paramedics who are able to perform all of the
above along with the administration of certain lifesaving medications and other advanced skills.

The new Central Fire Station on Pleasant Street was put in service in December 2022, replacing the 103 year-old Central Station on Maine
Street. Beginning with the 2022-23 budget, these buildings appeared as seperate sections, and beginning in 2023-24 the old Central Station
budget reflected only basic costs to maintain minimal heat and fire protection. The Town established a task force to facilitate redevelopment of
the property, completed a conditions study, and conducted a Request-for-Proposals process to sell and/or re-develop the property. In early 2024,
the Town accepted a proposal for a mixed-use development, including affordable housing units, and closed on the sale in spring 2025. The 202526 budget was included to cover the possibility that the property transfer would be delayed.

This appropriation covers aid to persons in Brunswick who are in need of financial relief, and the administrative expenses of the Town related to
welfare, general assistance and human services. Brunswick handles each case with an active referral system and a workfare program, the
combination of which results in significantly lower costs for the municipality and higher levels of assistance for the clients.
This budget also includes the appropriation for the Social Services Funding Program. Administered by the Council-appointed Social Services
Committee through a grant application process, this funding provides grants to non-profit agencies providing food, closthing, shelter, medical or
transportation services.

This budget accounts for the operations of the Recreation Center at 220 Neptune Drive. Prior to the 2025-26 budget, building maintenance and custodial services
were budgeted in the Building and Grounds budget, and the Rec Building budget was charged a custodial fee. With increased use of the Rec Center, two
maintenance workers are being dedicated to the Rec Center, and those salaries and benefits are reflected in the 2025-26 budget.

The Capital Budget is developed through the Capital Improvement Program ("CIP").
Article VI, Section 601 of the Town’s Charter requires that the Town Manager prepare and submit a five-year CIP at the same time as the annual budget is submitted.
The Town’s current CIP policy, procedures and format were adopted by the Council in February 2013, and updated in December 2018. The annual CIP is now
developed in the fall each year, and finalized in early spring for submittal to the Council. The policy establishes the content and format of the Town’s capital
improvement planning and provides guidelines for funding methods. The CIP includes a list of all capital improvements proposed over the next five fiscal years,
methods of financing, time schedules and annual cost to support the proposed program. The CIP is a plan; it does not fund any projects. Project funding can be
authorized in a variety of formats, all of which involve a separate action by the Town Council.
The Capital Budget is included within the annual General Fund Budget, and lists the items in the first year of the CIP which are proposed to be funded through
Unassigned General Fund Balance, and from Municipal Revenues, or property taxes. Approval of Capital Budget items occurs with seperate funding resolutions
concurrent with the adoption of the Town's General Fund Budget.
Certain projects in the CIP are proposed to be funded with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Revenues. Please see the projected TIF budget following. Approval of
TIF revenues for CIP items occurs with seperate funding resolutions concurrent with the adoption of the Town's General Fund Budget.

Estimated Annual Tax Shift Benefit represents the increase in State subsidy amounts received and the reduction in County tax resulting from 'sheltering'
the TIF districts' increased valuation from the state valuation and the calculations of the aid formulas. If the incremental values were included in the
Town's state valuation, the Town would experience a reduction in State subsidies and an increase in the County tax.

To provide for unforeseen circumstances and maintain liquidity, the Town has adopted a fund balance policy. Prior to FY2010, the policy targeted the
unassigned General Fund balance at 9.5% of revenues. Beginning in FY2010, the policy targeted the unassigned General Fund balance at 16.67% of
revenues. Beginning in FY2024, the policy established a target range for the unassigned General Fund balance of 16.67% to 25% of revenues. In
accordance with the fund balance policy, when the balance falls below the target range, the Town will develop a plan, implemented through the annual
budgetary process, to bring the balance to the target level over a period of no more than three years.

CIP Project Classifications
CIP Projects are classified in one of four classifications:
CIP Projects Recommended for Funding - Projects and acquisitions included have been sufficiently developed and defined as to clearly identify the scope and
cost of the project and the recommended funding sources. It is highly likely that projects in this class will eventually be authorized for completion and funding.
CIP Projects In Development - Projects and acquisitions of this class are under active consideration but have not been sufficiently developed or defined to
clearly identify the scope or cost of the project. Typically, projects in this category are being evaluated from several alternatives, or there is not sufficient
confidence in the cost estimates to determine whether the project should be recommended for funding.
CIP Projects Not Recommended - Projects and acquisitions of this class have been identified or requested by departments or others but are either insufficiently
developed or defined, or have been deemed to be beyond the funding capacity of the Town. These projects may receive consideration at a future date should
circumstances warrant.
CIP Projects Non-Town Funded - Projects to be completed and funded solely by entities other than the Town, with an estimated operational cost impact to the
Town of less than $25,000, are of interest to the Town in its planning efforts. However, as they have a minimal, or no, impact on Town finances, they are shown
separately from Town funded projects.
CIP Funding Sources
CIP Projects are recommended for funding through a variety of sources, including:
Debt Financing – Projects or acquisitions to be funded wholly or partially with debt issued by the Town of Brunswick should have a cost to the Town of at least
of $325,000 and a life expectancy of five years or greater. However, the Town Council may authorize the issuance of debt for projects and acquisitions that have
a cost to the Town of at least $100,000. Debt shall never be issued for a term longer than the life expectancy of the project or acquisition.
General Revenues – Projects or acquisitions funded from general revenues or property taxation. Annual funding from this source should represent 4-7% of the
total operating budget.
Fund Balances – Projects to be funded with fund balances shall be those that meet the purpose and intent of the fund. Funding from the unassigned general fund
balance should be consistent with the Town’s General Fund Policy.
Reserves – Projects to be funded from reserves should be those that meet the purpose and intent of the reserve.
Non-Town Sources – Projects to be funded from non-town sources should meet the restrictions requirements of the funding provider.

CIP Definitions
Capital Project or Acquisition – A CIP project, item, or a network or system of items must have a cost of at least $100,000 and a life expectancy of five years or more. The terms
“project” and “projects” shall include items that are acquisitions.
Network or System of Items - Items that are intended to be a part of a larger network or system, that when purchased individually may have a cost of less than $100,000. For
example, a computer network may be comprised of several components, each of which cost less than $100,000, but as a group comprise a network costing $100,000 or more.
Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Program – A systematic annual funding process for the replacement of fleet vehicles and equipment. These programs shall be included as items
in the CIP even when the annual funding is less than $100,000.
Facilities Reserve Program- A systematic annual funding of a reserve fund for facilities maintenance projects costing less than $100,000 and more than $25,000. These projects
are larger than minor capital projects which would typically be included in the Town's annual operating budget.
IT/Cable TV Equipment Reserve Program - a systematic annual funding of a reserve fund for Information Technology and Cable TV equipment. This includes annual funding
for replacement computers, and periodic major network projects.
Climate Action Plan Reserve Program - a systematic annual funding of a reserve fund for implementation of the Climate Action Plan.
Work Programs – Refers to capital project work generally performed by department or contracted resources and funded annually. These programs shall be included as items in
the CIP.
Minor Capital – Refers to items that, although capital in nature, do not meet the above definitions of a project or acquisition, or of a system or network of items. Minor capital
items should be included in the Town’s annual operating budget.
Operating costs – Refers to the ongoing annual costs associated with a capital project or acquisition. The Town shall identify the estimated annual operating cost impact (net
increase or decrease) related to a project when those operating cost impact to the Town is estimated to be $25,000 or greater.
Debt - Related Terminology
Existing Debt Service - The existing debt service costs taken from the current debt service schedules. It represents the actual current obligations of the Town.
Debt Authorized But Not Issued - This is an estimate of the debt service costs on projects that have been authorized but for which debt has not yet been issued. These are
estimates. The actual costs will be determined by project costs, structure of the bond issues, and prevailing interest rates at the time the bonds are issued.
Proposed New Debt - The debt service costs for new projects proposed in the CIP. These are estimates. The actual costs will be determined by project costs, structure of the bond
issues, and prevailing interest rates at the time the bonds are issued.
State School Construction Debt Service Subsidy - The State of Maine Department of Education (DOE) assists school units with state-approved construction projects under a
complex arrangement. First, the DOE, after extensive review of a proposed school construction project, determines a level of project costs that it deems eligible for state subsidy.
Then, the annual debt service for those eligible costs is included in the calculation of the unit’s annual subsidy of all of its education costs, using the State’s Essential Programs and
Service (EPS) funding model. The EPS model uses a number or variables that will change annually. Further, the model is subject to change by the actions of the State Legislature
and the DOE. Also, the annual level of EPS funding is determined in the State budget process. School debt service subsidy estimates are intended only for planning purposes.
Future estimates and actual subsidy payments may be materially different.

Reserve funds have been established for a systematic annual funding process for the replacement of fleet vehicles and equipment, maintenance of
facilities, and the annual road paving and sidewalk improvement programs. Through regular, level funding of the reserves, the Town avoids wide
fluctuations in funding requirements from year to year. The reserves are managed with the use of replacement/project schedules, and have
enabled department heads to better manage their fleets and equipment, and plan future projects.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
MaineDOT’s Municipal Partnership Initiative (MPI) is intended to be a demand response program, which can rapidly react to Municipal
requests, such as responding to changing local transportation needs on State and State-Aid highways, developing economic opportunities,
and safety concerns on or adjacent to these highways. The program is designed to promote partnerships between MaineDOT and
municipalities, public utilities, private businesses and other entities by leveraging additional resources on a voluntary basis to match limited
state resources. It will make improvements to State and State-Aid highways often utilizing more flexible project delivery methods when the
nature of the highway and project allow. The program requires a 50% match from the municipality, the MaineDOT share is capped at
$625,000 per project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
The intersection of Mason Street and Federal Street was identified as an area of concern during the Heads Up meetings held in
Town. Of particular concern was the crossing of Mason Street which functions as the on ramp for Route 1 northbound traffic.
Town received a Maine DOT Heads Up grant award for the project in 2022, and engaged a design/engineering consultant.
Since the original award and beginning design, MDOT has increased the estimated cost of the project. In March 2026, MDOT
requested a modification to the grant, increasing the project cost to a total of $475,000, requiring additional match of $25,000
from the Town.
The project includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Clearing the trees in the northeast corner owned by the State of Maine to improve sight distances
Replacement of the existing pedestrian refuge island
Installation of a rectangular flashing beacon to alert motorists to the presence of pedestrians.
Upgrade existing pedestrian ramps to meet current ADA standards
Updating traffic signage
Rebuilding the northwest curb line to shorten the radius
A traffic study to analyze traffic patterns.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
The Androscoggin Brunswick-Topsham Riverwalk will cover a 1.25 mile loop starting in Brunswick at the corner of Maine and Cabot
Streets in front of Fort Andross. It will run along Cabot Street to Bow Street to Mill Street (Route One Blue Star Memorial Highway) to the
Androscoggin Swinging Bridge located near the intersection of Mill and Cushing Streets. On the Swinging Bridge, the Riverwalk crosses
the Androscoggin River to Topsham near the intersection of Union and Bridge Streets in Topsham. It follows Mill Road, a "paper" street
along the riverbank to Summer Street, where it follows the sidewalk along Summer Street to the rear of the Border Trust Business Center at
2 Main Street. From there it will intersect with Maine Street (Route 24) via the Frank Wood Bridge. The loop will be completed at the
Maine and Cabot streets in Brunswick, in front of Fort Andross. This project includes all improvements along Mill Street from the
Androscoggin Swinging Bridge to Maine, Cabot and Bow Streets near Fort Andross.
The Council previously voted to submit an application for Maine Department of Transportation Quality Community Program, and in
February 2017, $64,000 was approved for a feasibility study and possible preliminary design of a multi-use pathway connecting the
Swinging Bridge to the Frank J. Wood Bridge. The $16,000 match was provided by the Riverwalk Committee through their fundraising
efforts.The scope of the project is connected to the replacement of the Frank Wood Bridge and the reconstruction of the Pool Table. This
project is currently in development by MDOT, and is expected to address pedestrian and bicycle access across the full span and on the
approach to the Brunswick end of the bridge.
In October 2021 the Town and MDOT completed the feasibility study, which recommended dividing the project into two segments.
MaineDOT has approved funding for the preliminary design and right-of-way work for Segment A - a proposed 10-foot wide multi-use path
along Mill Street from the Swinging Bridge to Bow and Cabot Streets. Construction is proposed to be completed by MDOT in conjunction
with the 'pool table'/Maine/Cabot/Bow Street project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Extension of Stephen Drive to connect Gurnet Road to Thomas Point Road. The roadway segment is needed to alleviate traffic
at the intersection of Bath & Thomas Point Roads and will address a top transportation priority in the Cook's Corner
Revitalization Plan. The project will address traffic issues and introduce critical active transportation elements
(bike/pedestrian infrastructure) as part of the Cook's Corner Revitalization Plan. Stephen Drive will be constructed as a
Complete Street.
As a municipal project, it is assumed that all utility extensions, upgrades and relocations shall be completed by the utility
company, and therefore, these costs are not part of the budget.
BPI is 33% of total project cost, up to a maximum of $1,000,000.
This project has been in the CIP since 2013. With the purchase of the Regal Cinema property by Pathway Vineyard Church in
2025, the property owners are supportive of the project. On July 7, 2025, the Town council appropriated $300,000 in Cook's
Corner TIF revenues to continue work on the 2014 plan and complete the design and engineering for the project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
This project will remove the Coffin's Ice Pond dam as a barrier to fish passage on Mare Brook by completing the design,
permitting, and construction of a nature-like fishway. Work builds on prior conceptual design work funded by the Town of
Brunswick with GEI Associates. Work will begin in early 2026 with site surveys, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, and
development of 30% design plans that establish the fishway alignment, channel geometry, and performance criteria for sea-run
brook trout, American eel, and other migratory species. The engineering team will then advance the design through 60% and
100% plans, incorporating detailed structural features, construction sequencing, and refined cost estimates.
Following design completion, the project will move directly into permitting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Maine
DEP, and the Town of Brunswick. All engineering and monitoring design will be completed under Trout Unlimited's existing
approved QAPP, which will be amended to incorporate the Coffin's Ice Pond project. Permitting and contractor procurement
are anticipated to occur through 2026.
Construction will take place in 2027 during appropriate in-stream work windows, with Trout Unlimited overseeing contractor
coordination, site management. The Town of Brunswick will support construction logistics and provide nonfederal match
through its contribution to implementation costs.
This project also includes the previously CIP-funded replacement of a 60-foot wooden pedestrian bridge with a new
(aluminum, steel, wood?) clear span bridge over the Coffin's Ice Pond fishway. The bridge connects a network of trails that
stretch from Bowdoin College to Middle Bay Road and the neighborhoods in between.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Allagash Road, located at Brunswick Landing, is a vital link connecting east and west Brunswick. This road provides a safe alternative to
Bath Road for people walking, biking, and using other mobility devices. The road is a major part of the Brunswick Landing Perimeter Trail,
and connects people who are walking or biking to the only north/south crossing on Bath Road. It is also the primary access drive to many
existing businesses on Allagash Drive and for the planned development for commercial/industrial businesses in the lots bordered by Katahdin,
Pegasus and Line Drive. This project will enhance connectivity and safety for bicyclists/pedestrians, and facilitate access for planned
development that is taxable commercial development in a growth zone.
The proposed project scope includes: straightening Allagash to Admiral Fitch and abandoning the s-curve roadway portion of Allagash that
currently connects to Admiral Fitch; this new alignment will open up two parcels along Admiral Fitch for mixed-use development. Phase II of
this project is to aquire the access road at the intersection that serves the Rusty Latern gas station and other commercial businesses along Bath
Road up to the main entrance of Brunswick Landing. Currently this access road off Bath Road across from Merrymeeting Plaza is being used
as a cut-through to Brunswick Landing; the access road would converted to Town owership, and as such, the roadway would be improved to
Town standards to allow for greater vehicular traffic; the improved roadway would make a desired safe bicycle/pedestrian connection across
Bath Road. The newly-straighted Allagash Drive project also contemplates a bicycle/pedestrian connection on MRRA-owned property along
the eastern side of Admiral Fitch to continue the bike/ped access directly into the Cook's Corner Mall.
The proposed roadway straightening is roughly 450 linear feet from the driveway from the commercial properties (gas station, and bank). The
scope of work includes the purchase of the private driveway in a quitclaim deed (for a nominal sum) and some minor widening and reworking
of the islands to allow for better traffic flow.
MRRA is also planning full reconstruction of Allagash to include a multi-use path. The timing and cost of this larger project have not been
determined.

Priority Real Estate Group owns the land where the new roadway extension will be located; the owner proposes to donate
the land for the construction. The newly constructed Allagash Road will initially be owned by MRRA but ultimately turned
over to the Town once MRRA has completed its work. Once the Town has responsibility for the roads on Brunswick
Landing, maintenance of these roads will fall to the Public Works Department.
The access road will be deeded to the Town, and improvements and maintainance will be the responsibility of the Town.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED & EFFECT OF DELAYING THIS PROJECT
Describe what was considered as an alternative to this project. What is the effect if this project is not funded or delayed?
Development of the taxable properties will be severely limited if the Allagash Road remains in its current
configeration. Bicycle and pedestrian safety and connectivity will be compromised. Delaying this project will
unfairly impact east Brunswick, which has historically recieved a lower amount of investment in road safety.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Discuss any other information that should be considered for this project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Cushing Street is road roughly a quarter mile in length and is in very poor condition. Many areas of pavement failure, and
repeated attempts to patch the road, are present. Drainage is poor and inadequate for quickly removing storm water to protect
the road from water, snow, and ice. Sidewalks are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In short, this street
needs a comprehensive evaluation, re-design, and re-construction.
The town engineer proposes hiring a design consultant to re-design the street, in accordance with town road standards and the
complete streets policy, and then going out for construction in the near future.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
A 75 l.f. existing 16 foot diameter pipe arch that crosses Bunganuc Road at Bunganuc Brook has been identified by a recent
Maine DOT inspection as being poor condition, with corroding bolts and damaged plates which could lead to failure. It was
rated as level three, STRUCTURALLY DEFICIENT, in accordance with the National Bridge Inventory Standards. Any
condition rating of four or less is considered to be structurally deficient.
The Town hired a design consultant to research options for rehabilitation and replacement. The report is available on the Town
website. The summary of the report concludes that it is advisable to replace the culvert with a modern bridge design. This
alternative has the largest hydraulic opening, provides the longest design life, improves bicycle facilities, is comparable in cost
to the other alternatives ($1.9-2.5M vs $1.3-1.7M), and would become the maintenance responsibility of Maine DOT
following construction.
The town consultant is continuing to work on the design, review, and permits of a bridge replacement.

A 75 l.f. existing 10 foot diameter pipe arch that crosses River Road at Simpson Brook has been identified by a recent Maine
DOT inspection as being poor condition due corrosion at the base of the arch which could lead to failure. Since the stream
being handled by the culvert is under the Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction we will need to apply for and get a permit to
do the work from them. Our experience has been we will need at least six months for a consultant to survey the site, prepare a
culvert design meeting ACOE requirements and then submit an application and get a permit from the ACOE so we are
requesting initial funding in one fiscal year for the design and permitting of the culvert replacement. Once it is designed and
permitted we would expect to have a better cost estimate for the work.

The Mare Brook has been designated as an urban impaired stream. The town created the Mare Brook Advisory Committee to
improve the condition of the stream. Out of that committee, several proposed culvert replacements have been identified. The
new culverts are designed to modern storm events and modern environmental practices. Sparwell Lane is one of those
culverts. The town has fully designed construction plans for the replacement of the existing culvert. It has gone out to bid,
though project costs were higher than budgeted for the Mare Brook restoration work. This culvert is now being proposed as a
CIP item.
The funding source is recorded in the CIP as general obligation bonds, but staff will be applying for a Maine Infrastructure
Adaptation Fund (MAIF) grant for the project. This would require a $50,000 match.

Harpswell Road is a major arterial road for the town. Construction will have significant traffic impacts and require partial
lane closures during the project, which will significantly increase the cost and lengthen the time of the project. There are no
viable detours, so a full closure is not an option. Further this culvert needs to be upsized to continue work on the Mare
Brook restoration prior to adressing culvers farther upstream

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Columbia Ave is road about three quarters mile in length and is in declining condition. Drainage is poor and inadequate for
quickly removing storm water to protect the road from water, snow, and ice. This has caused areas of the pavement to fail
prematurely. Sidewalks are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The street needs a comprehensive
evaluation, re-design, and re-construction.
The town engineer proposes hiring a design consultant to re-design the street, in accordance with town road standards and the
complete streets policy, and then going out for construction in the near future.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Bowker Street was originally identified for a road reconstruction project and sidewalk improvement in 2023; however,
numerous design difficulties were identified which required a more detailed review and examination of conditions. A
consultant was hired to prepare different alternatives, neighborhood meetings were conducted, and a final design was selected
by the neighborhood.
In the interim, the road received a surface overlay to address immediate issues with the pavement while the design was worked
on.
The project will consist of the full depth replacement of the existing roadway, relocating existing power poles, replacement
and improvements to the storm sewer system, a new crosswalk, the rebuilding of the sidewalks to meet the requirements of the
ADA, and striping changes at the intersection of Pine St to improve safety. Utility coordination to relocate poles will take an
extended period (approximately one year) and must be accomplished prior to road work.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED & EFFECT OF DELAYING THIS PROJECT
Describe what was considered as an alternative to this project. What is the effect if this project is not funded or delayed?
The town considered multiple options. An all north side south walk, an all south side sidewalk, a mid block crossing, and
conversion to one way operation. The neighborhood chose a mid block crossing to minimize impacts to adjacent properties
and protect the most number of trees.
The road received a surface overlay and is in acceptable state at this time. It should eventually be rebuilt with the drainage
improvements for long term resiliency and ADA compliant sidewalks
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Discuss any other information that should be considered for this project.
Relocating the utility poles will require some trees to be cut and will take a lengthy coordination process before road
construction may begin

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Thomas Point Rd is a local road that is approximately 20 ft wide with poor pavement condition, poor drainage characteristics,
and minimal pedestrian or cyclists facilities. It intersects with Bath Rd, very close to the Gurnett and Bath Rd intersection, and
has been identified as a high crash location. The road is in need of complete re-construction and improvements to drainage and
for pedestrian/cyclists.
This project proposes the redesign and reconstruction of Thomas Point Road of about 0.4 miles from Bath Rd to the Tedford
Shelter Property. It would include new underground storm sewer, a possible new multimodal path, modifications to improve
the safety of the intersection with Bath Rd, and the intersection with Stephen Drive.
Improving this road will serve as a key traffic relief for the already congested Cooks Corner district. The town had previously
worked on a potential concept of the improvements in 2014, but it never processed further than concept and the town has
subsequently modified road standards since then.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
The Cook's Corner Commercial Corridors Revitalization Plan is a coordinated effort between the public and private sectors to plan and
implement improvements that will position the Cook's Corner commercial area for long-term viability. In order to help guide these strategic
investments, in March 2021, the Town Council approved the establishment of an Advisory Committee comprised of stakeholders from the
public and private sectors to provide expertise in their respective fields.The outdated guiding documents (Cook's Corner Master plan and
associated Design Standards) that provide a vision and foundation for improvements to the area have been updated to reflect the current built
landscape and future emerging commercial trends.
After a 9-month community engagement and planning process, in March 2022 the Town Council approved the Cook's Corner Revitalization
Plan. This plan provides comprehensive market data and a traffic analysis to inform future improvements for the Cook's Corner area. The
Advisory Committee is working to implement the vision of the plan in three strategic goal areas: Transportation and Connectivity, Policy &
Planning and Economic Prosperity and Business Development. The consultant, Aceto, was hired to help staff develop the new Design
Standards for the Cook's Corner area that will reflect the vision and goals of the plan. The design standards will be ready for Planning Board
approval in January 2024. As part of the scope of work, Aceto, is helping to development a streetscape that will address complete streets in the
area; MDOT staff is in close coordination on both the design standards and streetscape.
The yearly programmed funds of $200,000 will be used to supplement TIF Revenues, grants and potential partnership funding (MDOT, other
major stakeholders) for additional consultant studies and services, make bike/ped improvements, facade improvements/beautifications
(landscaping, wayfinding, business signage, etc.), public art, and promotional activities. Possible demolition of specific vacant structures
would be an eligible expenditure. In addition, this funding could be utilized for potential environmental remediation of various sites.

Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
In 2009 the department took delivery of 2 twin E-One pumpers - Engines 1 and 3. The age and use of these vehicles has
increased every year since delivery. In discussions with the Town Manager it was noted that purchasing two trucks at the same
time would be very expensive and that getting the trucks on a more mangable cycle with the other trucks would be best.
Engine 1 has 90,180 miles on it currently and 6864 hours.
The department splits the town into two districts and has assigned an engine as primary response in both districts. Engine 1 is
assigned in the Emerson District. We are looking to replace Engine 1 with a truck similiar to Engine 2 with 1000 gallons of
water and 1500 gallon pump. Due to high maintnenace costs we are eliminating the on board CAFS foam system.
We are recommending the replacement of Engine 1 now and the other Engine in a few years.

Replacement of the Cardiac Monitors for the Ambulances. These are critical medical equipment, used to monitor cardiac
activity, defibrillate cardiac arrest patients, O2 saturation monitoring, Pace cardiac patients.
The FDA recommends replacing all medical devices about every 8 years. We aim for 10 years, because we have our monitors
maintenanced every year by the manufacturer.
In 2025 the price for a new monitor is $60,000 plus $5,000 for the multi year maintenance program. Stryker has an annual
price increase every October. Typically it ranges in the 3-5%.

The AHSF has been a successful source of funding to assist in the production and preservation of affordable housing in
Brunswick. Since December 2022, the Town has committed and/or deployed more than $1 million dollars to a variety of
projects and stakeholders to assist in: the production of affordable housing, preservation/maintenance of our existing housing
stock, and other direct assistance to allow for greater housing choice in our community.
As the need is acute, investments in the AHSF will provide critical seed funding that has been demonstrated to leverage
private and public investments. State and Federal funding often require a local match and/or are a basic requirement for those
making applications for housing subsidy. On-going local funding will allow for on-going municipal assistance.

Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
This project proposes a complete site redeveloment at the 9 Industry Road location to accomodate the needs of Public Works for
the long-term future. The currently proposed development has been scaled back from an earlier proposed $40M project and
currently only includes Phase 1A and 1B:
Phase 1A ($6.7M, $4.7M of which was previously approved)
Acquisition of 2 Industry Road
Fuel island, canopy, and underground tanks
Salt/sand shed
Overal site design
Underground utilities
Phase 1B ($9M)
Administration/maintenance garage, wash bay
The existing facility at 9 and 10 Industry Road is 16,972 sf and is severely undersized for the 28.5 FTE employees, 28 vehicles,
and 40+ pieces of equipment in the department. The main building (administration and garage) was constructed in 1956 of cinder
blocks; it lacks basic environmental systems such as ventilation and separation of people and vehicle exhaust, and it has no
insulation. The second floor offices are not ADA-accessible, and there is no dedicated lockers/bathrooms for female employees.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Phase I of the trail is located to the south-west of the Brunswick Landing Executive Airport and will require the full
construction of a 10-foot wide (with one-foot shoulders), universally accessible, stone dust path. This section of trail will be
forested and pass by wetlands. New bridges and water crossings will need to be constructed. Phase I is 0.68 miles of the 8.4mile off-road section of the Perimeter Trail that will route around the former Brunswick Naval Air Station. It will have a
north-south alignment and begin at the Merriconeag Parking Lot and end at the Perimeter Road (see attached maps).
The Town has hired Flycatcher, a qualified environmental resource management firm, and Off the Beaten Path, a qualified
trail design and construction firm, to prepare trail corridor designs, structure designs, and cost estimates. These plans will be
used to solicit bids from qualified trail construction contractors to build the path. The Town expects to go out for
construction bid in winter 2026.
This trail will be a one-of-a-kind path that will serve recreationists and commuters in the Brunswick region. Located between
east and west Brunswick, the BLPT will connect two divided parts of Town, making housing, jobs, shopping, and schools
safe and accessible by bike for residents. Being a loop trail that encompasses the historic former Brunswick Naval Air
Station, this 8.4-mile path will be a destination for visitors to Brunswick, and be of statewide significance.
The Town received funding through the Maine Trails Bond for Phase 1. Subsequent phases of the trail are listed here with
the assumption, but no assurance of grant funding.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
In the current FY26 budget there is $40,000 allocated for short-term parking. Phase 1 would include a 10-space parking lot
off Sturgeon Lane at existing residential site and connecting the existing trail to Sturgeon Lane.
Phase 2 would focus on site cleanup and entail exploring assessment funds from MCOG or MDEP at no cost to the Town.
Once assessment is completed and results are known the Town would apply for cleanup funding through either MCOG or
MDEP. Funding is typically provided in the form of 50% grant and 50% loan in the FY27 year.
Phase 3 would be for centralized access and parking, reconstructing Sturgeon Lane, 20 space parking lot, and vault toilets for
FY28.
Phase 4 would be for pond access and look to include a dock structure, 10’ wide multi use path connecting to improvement 2
in FY29.
Phase 5 is for neighborhood playground which would include a play area, 15 lot parking area, reconstructing 418 Old Bath
Road access drive in FY30.
Phase 6 would be Captain Fitzgerald access where Lindbergh Lane would be reconstructed, 16 lot parking area outside the
gate, and 4 lot handicapped parking are created inside the gate in FY31.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
This project involves engineering, design, and installation of a natural gass-powered back-up power generator for the Curtis
Memorial Library.
Power outages negatively affect our ability to control critical HVAC systems in the buildng, introcuding substantial risk to the
town-owned building itself as well as the library's assets inside.
Additionally, the libary acts as an important public warming/cooling center during times of need. In order to provide the most
help during these periods, the library must be able to reliably remain open during power outages.This is a key strategy of the
Climate Action Plan passed in 2024.

The Town's Climate Action Plan (2024) states the following:
• The Town should ensure that...community services are still accessble during storms.
• Increased heat will intensify the need for emergency services (like cooling centers)....
• Frequency of power outages will increase....
• Brunswick will build resilience by reducing existing vulnerabilities and taking steps to mitigate future climate impacts for
our people...and infrastructure.

Alternatives to be examined: 1) A study of existing conditions and a "do nothing" alternative 2) A study for altering the
geometry and installing an All Way Stop 3) A study for the possible construction of a roundabout and impacts on adjacent
properties and 4) A study for altering the geometry and installing a traffic signal.
These studies would compare and contrast the level of service of vehicles, safety improvements for cyclists and pedestrians,
estimated costs, and estimated impacts on adjacent property if additional Right Of Way must be acquired.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Church Rd and Pleasant Hill is an intersection in the rural distinct that has significant geometric issues. The roads converge at
very skewed angles which creates numerous issues with sight distance. Due to the high crash history this was changed to an all
way stop, which has had positive impacts, but did not address the issues with visibility.
To improve this intersection, the Town Engineer is asking for funding to study the intersection for possible improvements and
future upgrades
Alternatives to be examined: 1) A study of existing conditions and a "do nothing" alternative 2) A study for altering the
geometry and maintain the intersection as an All Way Stop 3) A study for the possible construction of a roundabout and

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Middle Bay Road is being considered for a road widening project to better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. It is
currently a 1.2 mile road that is about 24 ft wide, with drainage ditches and variable width gravel shoulders.
The town engineer commissioned a survey which identified numerous utility and drainage concerns if the road was to be
widened for bike lanes. The town engineer is requesting funding for a design consultant to evaluate different alternatives for

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
The Town Commons is a very popular park with numerous trails. It is bisected by Harpswell Rd and adjacent to the
Brunswick Landing Perimeter Trail. Harpswell Rd is a rural highway with a posted speed limit of 45MPH, with observed
speeds often going over that.
As the Perimeter Trail is developed, there will be a future demand for a safe crossing at Harpswell Rd. Due to the high speeds
of the road, a Pedestrian Hybrid Signal would be required to provide a safe system for pedestrians and cyclists to cross, while
providing ample warning for motorists to slow and stop (and prevent rear end collisions). A similar system is being installed
along Bath Rd near Jordan Rd in conjunction with Maine DOT.
The town engineer is ask for funding for design and construction of the signal to coincide with the development of the
Perimeter Trail

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
Durham Rd is a busy rural highway in west Brunswick. Collinsbrook Rd, to the south, and Hacker Rd, to the north, intersect
Durham Rd. At the intersection there is very limited sigh distance due to the vertical curvature of the road. Because of high
speeds on Durham Rd and the limited sight distance of the side roads, the intersection poses as a safety concern. To address
this in the past, an Intersection Collision Warning System was installed in the past. This is a traffic control device that detects
approaching vehicles along Durham Rd and will flash caution lights to Collinsbrook Rd and Hacker Rd that a vehicle is
approaching. The system has been installed for over 20 years.
This system has proven effective with only one reported accident in the past 10 years (as of 2025). That said, the town
frequently receives comment from concerned residents about the system occasionally missing vehicles on Durham Rd leading
to near misses and has their signal contractor inspect it on a frequent basis.
The town engineer is requesting funding for the replacement of the system with a more modern resilient design, which would
would have more redundant detection systems to ensure it remains an effective system. Additional sensors such as radar are
effective for certain lighting and weather conditions that the existing camera system does not always register.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED & EFFECT OF DELAYING THIS PROJECT
Describe what was considered as an alternative to this project. What is the effect if this project is not funded or delayed?
Based on the collision history, the system has had strong results. However, the potential for a severe collision remains. A
traffic signal could also be considered, though there are concerns about rear end collisions on Durham Rd because of the
limited sight distance and down hill grade change in the eastbound direction.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Discuss any other information that should be considered for this project.
After a brief conversation with the Maine DOT traffic engineer, while Maine DOT does not install systems like this very
often anymore, they do consider this to be a highly effective installation of an intersection collision warning system.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
The Town completed a feasibility study in 2004 in collaboration with the City of Bath for the purpose of linking to the
existing 2.4 mile Androscoggin River Bicycle Path (ARBP), an off-road bicycle/pedestrian path constructed as part of the
Sagadahoc Bridge project. The study resulted in a proposed extension of the existing path along the US Route 1 corridor from
Brunswick through West Bath and Bath - an additional 7.21 miles of non-motorized (active) transportation facilities.
The proposed extension, "A2K" (Androscoggin River to Kennebec River) bicyle/pedestrian trail will link the existing trail
along the Route 1 corridor to Brunswick's Cook's Corner commercial service area and its adjacent neighborhoods further east
through the Town of West Bath and connect to the completed trail segments in the City of Bath. This particular section of the
East Coast Greenway bike/pedestrian path has been deemed a corridor of statewide significance by MDOT and part of trail
system planned from Augusta to Bath known as the Capital to the Coast Trail.
In Jan. 2024, Brunswick received notification from MDOT of a $200,000 grant award for preliminary design, survey/mapping,
and right-of-way work for the proposed 4.79 miles (remaining trail segments) to complete the A2K trail system.. There is a
required 20 percent match ($50,000) from the three communities where the path will be located. Both Brunswick and the City
of Bath are holding $20,000 in reserve ($40k total), and the Town of West Bath is contributing $10,000 ($5k - municipal
funds, $5k - KELT).

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED & EFFECT OF DELAYING THIS PROJECT
Describe what was considered as an alternative to this project. What is the effect if this project is not funded or delayed?
The 2004 feasibility study looked at alternatives to connect to Bath using the Old Bath Road in Brunswick as the primary
route. It was determined to be the least preferred alternative due to the number of driveway and road crossings involved.
Right of Way limitations in certain areas also proved challenging. US Route 1 is the safest alternative. Project costs will
continue to rise and bicyclists and pedestrians will have to travel along roadways with limited shoulders making for a less
safe manner in which to travel between Brunswick and Bath .

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project and summarize why the project is necessary. Address evaluation criteria.
In 2020, the property adjacent to the Rec Center at Brunswick Landing (Parcel Rec-11) was transferred from the Navy for public conveyance to be
used and maintained exclusively for public recreation by the Town. The MARC project is a redevelopment effort of a 10-acre parcel into a stateof-the-art, regional athletic and recreation complex that provides a variety of recreational facilities for persons of all ages and abilities. In March
2021, the Town Council acting upon a recommendation from the Rec Commission, approved the establishment of an official Advisory Committee
(LC4) . The LC4 Advisory Committee is charged with vetting a recommended development program, identifying and securing sources of funding,
and implementation of Phase I of the Master Plan.The consultants hired during the planning and predevelopment phase included: CHA/GreenPlay
(BerryDunn) to conduct the community engagement process, and Ransom Environmental for on-going consultation on environmental matters.
The Master Plan reflects the results of the community engagement process, conceptual site plans, and preliminary construction and operating costs.
The MARC Master Plan and Phase 1 were approved by the Town Council on June 21, 2022. Since that time, staff have been working with CHA
Solutions on the design, permitting, and construction management of all the MARC facilities. Several programmatic elements in Phase 1 are
complete and in operation. In Summer 2024, Tier 1A was completed and includes: eight (8) pickleball courts, skatepark, perimeter trail, and
associated infrastructure. Tier 1B was completed and placed into service in summer 2025, and provides the first of two playgrounds programmed
in the MARC Master Plan. This toddler playground accommodates young children, ages 0-5 years old. Staff are currently fundraising for Tier 1C
which includes: construction of two basketball courts, an equipment storage shed, and lighting of the pickleball courts, skate park, and new
basketball courts. In Dec. 2025, the Town received notification that our LWCF grant request of $500,000 for Tier 1C is approved at the State
level. A minor modification for Tier 1C is approved by Planning and Development, and staff anticipates a construction start of Spring 2026.
The LC4 Committee is developing a fundraising strategy to complete the rest of Phase 1 (synthetic turf field, natural grass field, two tennis courts,
and the associated land development, infrastructure, and utilities). Fundraising efforts will be concentrated on raising a combination of private
donations, grants, and General Obligation (GO) bonds.
