Prudent Investments Linking Our Towns
PV PILOT is a new planning initiative which seeks to define and reinforce region-wide linkages between transportation, land use, business development, and community services in the Greater Bangor area. These linkages will form the basis for voluntary inter-community agreements, which will help to consolidate planning efforts and leverage investment funding for controlled growth throughout the region. PV PILOT is the first project of its type in Maine, sponsored by FHWA through a $150,000 award from its TCSP grant program.
Fifteen communities were invited to participate in the PV PILOT process, including Bangor, Bradley, Brewer, Eddington, Glenburn, Hampden, Hermon, Holden, Kenduskeag, Milford, Old Town, Orono, Orrington, Veazie, and the Penobscot Indian Nation on Indian Island. These communities comprise the urban municipalities as defined by the BACTS metropolitan area, plus most of the immediately adjacent smaller communities which have a more suburban or rural character.
