Brunswick United is a community advocacy group speaking out after the firefighting foam accident at MRRA’s Brunswick Executive Airport in August 2024, which released massive amounts of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” into our environment.

Our Immediate Goals

  • Safe drinking water! Ensure availability of clean water to residents at risk of PFAS contamination. The costs of water testing, treatment, or connecting to public water should not fall to residents or the Town.

  • Safe redevelopment of Brunswick Landing! The Superfund investigation for PFAS is still ongoing. Construction must be done responsibly, under transparent oversight, to mitigate contamination and prioritize public safety.

  • Give Residents a Voice! The redevelopment of Brunswick Landing by MRRA has introduced multiple apartment buildings, homes, and businesses. However, many residents remain unaware of the Superfund status. Meanwhile, MRRA, the state, and the Navy continue to dodge resident inquiries and shift responsibility for public safety and ongoing PFAS impacts to our fisheries, wildlife, and waterways.

Let's make our voices heard to protect our water, health, environment, and economy for all of Brunswick, Harpswell, and surrounding communities.
