"Believe In Me… Maine"
Sue W. Austin, State Representative, District #109
While
serving on Business Research and Economic Development
I gain and gather "good news" to share with
YOU! The 122nd Legislature went back into the Second
(short) Session on Wednesday, January 4th, 2006.
By-Pass Update of the New Year 2006. Conrad Wenzel
of the Maine Turnpike Authority informed me on the
first day of Session that the By-Pass Project has
gone out to bid for the bridge enhancement, one mile,
$8.5 million piece of construction. I Believe that
the bids are due back within a three week window of
being advertised. Estimated time for ground breaking
is early spring.
Thursday,
January 5 was Infant Toddler Awareness Day at the
Capitol. Gray resident and owner/operator of Discovery
Place, Ms. Michelle Godbout-Clock was at the press
conference sponsored by the Department of Human Services
and received a playground set for her day care through
a drawing. While attending the ceremony at the Hall
of Flags, daughter Bailey also visited the House of
Representative's Chambers with her father, David Clock.

Southern Maine Community College is expected to break
ground this month for a new pier. The project is being
made possible due to the leadership of Phil Grondin,
Roger Mallar and Charles Gregory. The reconstruction
will provide a modern marine education facility for
students and community. It includes an outdoor classroom
for education experience/ research, and will have
the ability to accommodate historic vessels for public
viewing. Reed & Reed of Woolwich, Maine has been
awarded the project.
