The Press Herald reports on the group tasked to promote development at the Brunswick Naval Air Station.
The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority has replaced Brunswick and Topsham’s local redevelopment authorities, which last month approved the master reuse plans for the 3,200-acre air station and the 75-acre Topsham Annex.
The authority must implement both reuse plans, taking responsibility for finding tenants to use the buildings and land.
Brunswick’s plan envisions a range of uses, from a resort hotel and golf course, to a college campus, hiking trails, aviation maintenance, stores and office space.

The Boston Globes reports on the success of Simply Divine Brownie, a Brunswick company started three years ago by a retired grandmother.
A project Beaulier started on a whim, to fend off boredom as a new retiree, has snowballed into the stuff of small-business fantasies. Her company, Simply Divine Brownies, has 19 employees on the payroll, and is growing fast. Annual sales are expected to double to $600,000 this year. Last week, at the height of the holiday rush, her all-women crew turned out almost 6,000 brownies a day in a jam-packed command center in a former mill, where the kitchen, retail shop, and shipping center share one hectic, cocoa-scented room.
