Campus leaders appreciate voter support

To the editor:
    We thank County voters for their strong support of Question 2 in the June 8 election. This proposal supported bonds that will bring badly needed funds to our three campuses for energy efficiency improvements to campus buildings. Over 61 percent of County voters said “Yes” to this work.
    The vote also supported the work of the University of Maine on off-shore wind development. This research and development work has the potential to bring a major, new green energy business to the State of Maine. This work also enhances teaching at our three colleges in green energy and wind technology. Our collaborative work with the University of Maine will continue.
    We will begin work as soon as possible on the variety of energy efficiency projects that the Bond supports. We look forward to bringing jobs to the County and to improving the energy efficiency of our buildings.
