Penobscot Climate Action Survey

Project Background: This survey is a part of the Penobscot Climate Action initiative, a regional collaboration of towns led by the Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System (BACTS) to strengthen the region’s people, infrastructure, and economy in the face of a changing climate. The project identifies opportunities to address local priorities and enhance resilience in Bangor, Bradley, Brewer, Hampden, Hermon, Milford, Old Town, Orono, Orrington, Penobscot Nation, and Veazie.

Survey Purpose: This specific survey is intended to help the team involved in planning learn more about the communities and identify potential events, organizations, and people to benefit the planning efforts in your community.

Note that your participation is entirely voluntary, and you are free to skip any questions: https://tinyurl.com/PenobscotSurvey
