GREENVILLE — The Moosehead Lake Region Economic Development Corporation (MLREDC) is pleased to report that it has been approved for a $16,000 grant from the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund (MOHF) for the Moosehead Lake Waterfront Park Dock Project.
“We are so pleased and grateful for the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund grant,” says Steve Levesque, president of the MLREDC. “It will be applied to the purchase of a dock system and installed at the new Crafts Landing and Park in downtown Greenville. These docks will serve boats and seaplanes and will be available free to the public coming from the Lake to shop, dine, or visit. This is a transformative initiative that will support access to and from the water and will help bring vitality to the region.”
