Town to hold first meeting for nonresident taxpayers since 2019

Harpswell’s annual meeting for nonresident taxpayers will return on July 5 after a three-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at the Orr’s Island Schoolhouse. The evening will include a presentation on the effort to update Harpswell’s comprehensive plan and how the public can participate in that process.

Officials expect a strong turnout of nonresident taxpayers, many of whom spend summers in Harpswell. “It’s been four years, so it’ll probably be pretty well attended,” Select Board Chair Kevin Johnson said.
