📰 News we're reading
• Outdoor Recreation Roundtable is Announcing Rural Grants (rvbusiness.com) — Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls just landed a $5,000 grant to add clear gateway, trailhead, and accessibility signs linking local trails, parks, boat launches, beaches, and the community ski mountain. This project aims to help residents and visitors actually find more than 2,000 acres of nearby conserved land, building on a recent regional recreation planning effort. 
• Jay generator journey loses steam as ‘super oversize' load stops in Oxford (sunjournal.com) — A massive 340-ton steam generator from Jay’s former Pixelle paper mill is inching its way to South Portland, drawing gawkers as it pauses in Oxford along state routes at night. This is the first of nine super-oversize loads leaving the Jay mill site, signaling major industrial equipment changes that could shape what’s next for the property and local economy.
