Penobscot River Restoration to Get $10 Million

This week a hefty gift arrived on the doorstep of Maine conservationists involved with continued restoration of the Penobscot. “Ten million dollars from the FY08 Omnibus Appropriations Bill passed this week will be directed to the Penobscot River Restoration Project. President Bush signed the bill on Thursday and officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed the agency will direct the funding to the project.” From CSRWire.com.
