ON THE AGENDA: Town & School Meetings This Week
It's our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton town government, school, and other similar meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something. Also, sometimes things are on the town calendars and are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to double check before you head over!
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then school meetings and we’ll we be doing a quick summary of potential highlights for instance . . .
. . . THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS WEEK
Bar Harbor has a busy week. It’s Town Council has multiple meetings and workshops and it will be previewing a potential new cruise ship ordinance. The Planning Board will be looking over multiple proposed land use amendments.
In Mount Desert, the Selectboard might approve multiple contracts about climate resiliency and it will hear an update about Otter Creek.
Southwest Harbor’s duo of meetings will delve into the definition of a resident and a tree fund update.
BAR HARBOR GOVERNMENT MEETINGS!
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
