Brunswick is home to Bowdoin College and the former Naval Air Station Brunswick — now Brunswick Landing, a redevelopment of the closed base. The coastal location on Casco Bay creates nor'easter and storm surge exposure, and the former NAS site has undergone environmental remediation from aviation fuel and other military contaminants. Winter storm preparedness is an annual requirement in this mid-coast Maine community.
