The Lake Region Wood Bank (LRWB) is expanding its operations through a new agreement with the Town of Bridgton.
The agreement will allow LRWB to use part of town-owned land behind the Memorial School, creating additional space to process, store, and distribute firewood to households in the Lake Region experiencing heating insecurity.
