FirstPark is a regional economic development project governed by the Kennebec Regional Development Authority (KRDA), a board of 24 member communities, and operated day-to-day by a small, dedicated team.
The KRDA is governed by a General Assembly representing all 24 member communities, with representatives appointed by their respective town or city governments. The General Assembly sets policy and adopts the annual budget, while an Executive Board, elected from among the General Assembly, provides strategic direction and oversees FirstPark’s operations. This structure gives every member community a direct voice in the park’s future.
