My name is Darek M. Grant. I am an Augusta native and currently serve on the City Council.

As part of my initiative to promote what is happening in our community, I plan to use this blog as a means of highlighting useful and helpful information for those who live, work, and visit Maine’s Capital City – Augusta.

Here is a little bit about myself:

Born and raised in Augusta.
