Governor Mills has proposed a new $111 million bond to grow the state's economy by investing in broadband expansion, strengthening the workforce, heritage industry innovation and child care.

A proposed $6 million would be used for "grants and low interest loans to renovate, expand or construct child care centers and increase the availability of child care slots, with half of the money going to underserved communities in rural areas," reports MaineBiz.
