Proven competence and dedication

From Kathy Hirst: I am writing to encourage Harpswell residents to vote for Ellen Glew to fill the Select Board position. She brings to Harpswell a history and spirit of community involvement — and more.

In 2022, the Mitchell Field Committee conducted a survey of more than 500 residents, which found that more than 55% were in favor of repairing and repurposing the administration building. The town commissioned the Midcoast Council of Governments to review the evidence and produce recommendations for the future of the building. After confirming that the building is structurally sound, the organization conducted a series of interviews and workshops. Finding a high level of support, it recommended inviting nonprofits to submit proposals to repurpose the building.
