AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine's governor has approved a proposal designed to promote manufacturing education, green technology and job growth in the state.

The proposal, from Democratic Rep. Mike Sylvester, is designed to create cooperation between the University of Maine System, the Maine Community College System, the Finance Authority of Maine, private sector stakeholders and others. It also directs the Maine Council on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to issue a report that details new models for manufacturing education and employment.
