A one-day offshore wind conference will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, December 14 at the Hutchinson Center in Belfast. This conference will provide coastal stakeholders with valuable tools and information to help them meaningfully engage in discussions about offshore wind development in Maine and weigh the related costs and benefits.
