I agree there is a lot of interesting information in this Bar Harbor Story including needed job opportunities and housing for younger generations.
What struck me as incongruent and particularly salient for our future is,
“ Bar Harbor is recognized as an age-friendly community by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) because it has an age-friendly action plan and because of the work of the Age-Friendly Committee.”
and
“ The population of younger groups are expected to decrease.
Younger age groups, particularly those under 25 and aged 25–34, are projected to continue declining. By 2030, residents under 35 are expected to comprise just 30.7% of the population, down from 34.2% in 2020.”
Lots of good information, here. I read this as saying we need job opportunities and rentals for the younger generations.
