The City of Caribou will hold a Public Hearing on Monday, February 23, 2026 at 6 p.m. at the Caribou Municipal Building located at 25 High Street, Caribou, Maine to discuss an application being submitted to the State of Maine CDBG program for an Economic Development Program grant.
The purpose of the request from BEE VR Theme Park is to apply for funds for working capital to support critical operating expenses to create and retain two full-time equivalent jobs for low to moderate income individuals. Public comments will be solicited at this Hearing and will be submitted as part of the application’s required documentation.
All persons wishing to make comments or ask questions about the proposal are invited to this Public Hearing. Comments may be submitted in writing to Eric Sanderson, Economic & Community Development Specialist, 25 High Street, Caribou, ME 04736 at any time prior to the public hearing. TDD/TTY users may call (207)498-5096. If you are physically unable to access any of the City’s programs or services, please call (207)498-5096, so that accommodations can be made.
The City is developing a Riverfront Revitalization Masterplan and we’re inviting residents to share their ideas for how the riverfront could be used, enjoyed, and developed—especially around Water Street near the Train Station and the Power Plant site at the dam.
Your feedback will help shape what this area could become for generations to come. The survey is completely anonymous, but if you leave your contact information at the end, you can be entered to win a gift certificate!
