Five Ukrainian energy experts are in Maine for a week to learn how to rebuild their energy infrastructure that continues to be a target of Russian attacks.
The sale of the historic Pepperell Mill in Biddeford has been completed, with the sprawling campus now owned by Texas firm Presidium Group, which has Maine partners.

Biddeford has been awarded a $1.2 million federal grant for road improvements around a 650-space city parking garage and adjacent private redevelopment in the mill district.
The funding is part of a U.S. Economic Development Administration effort to support work that is expected to lead to 645 jobs and generate $170 million in private investment, a news release said Friday.
The city broke ground on the garage at 3 Lincoln St. in August. The garage is on the former Maine Energy Recovery Corp. site that will be developed into a 300,000-square-foot mixed-use complex planned by developers Jim Brady and Brian Eng, and is adjacent to 240,000-square-foot Lincoln Mill, being redeveloped by Tim Harrington and Chinburg Properties.
