Senator Susan Collins has announced the allocation of nearly $1.5 billion to support 672 community projects throughout Maine. This funding distribution covers all 16 counties in the state and spans the period from 2021 to the present.
For the 2026 fiscal year specifically, the senator directed $428.6 million toward 158 distinct projects. These financial commitments are being highlighted as Collins campaigns for a sixth term in the Senate.
The incumbent faces a competitive re-election race against Democratic challenger Troy Jackson. Recent polling data suggests a tight contest between the two candidates, with some surveys showing Jackson with a narrow lead.
