Complaining no matter what this man does. Sounds like there is something personal here. Is there jealousy? Do you need a hug? God forbid anyone that wants to do anything positive in this community. Not everyone needs a thank you but this type of vitriol regarding an act like this is poor form.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars is nothing to sneeze at. It is a wonderful gift. Just one question; Does the money go to pay down the debt or to buy extras not included in the building contract? Inquiring minds may want to know. Either way Thank you Mr. Coston
Bravo for Stephen for his generous donation and understanding. This is the type of thought process we need at the council level. More meeting in the middle instead of all or nothing.
This comment was brought to my attention and I'd like to clarify: I do not own/operate any STRs (assuming you mean "short term rentals" as in homes rented out to tourists). I own and operate a group of hotels, motels, and bed & breakfasts. No STRs. Our company does provide housing in downtown Bar Harbor to approximately 40 employees for free.
Simply a transaction for Coston. He thinks the benefit from the goodwill he gets from this outweighs the expense.

This is a big PR piece, not just thanking someone for a donation
And hopefully others will take note of this gesture and consider their own. (Regarding his donation, not your jealousy)
