Regional Collaboration

 

In 2007 City of Bangor leaders recognized the need for a new open space plan as part of an overall vision for its future, but they also understood that they would need to cooperate with other communities within the region to balance development and economic growth with comprehensive natural resource protection. Twelve member communities - Bangor, Bradley, Brewer, Eddington, Hampden, Hermon, Holden, Milford, Old Town, Orono, Orrington, and Veazie - joined together in an unprecedented effort to identify the most important qualities of the Penobscot Valley that must be preserved for a sustainable and vibrant future.

 

A partnership among The Trust for Public Land, the Bangor Land Trust, and the Penobscot Valley Council of Governments spearheaded a region-wide comprehensive open space-visioning project known as "Greenprinting." This effort's goals were established through one-on-one interviews, extensive research and analyses, public listening sessions, public opinion surveys, and broad community guidance.
