Local student makes dean’s list

A proposal to amend the Harpswell Shellfish Ordinance would create a new category of license in response to what the harbor master describes as a "workforce housing crisis" pressuring harvesters to move out of town.

A flare take-back program in Harpswell — the only program of its kind in Maine — is collecting hundreds of expired flares in its third year, protecting both the community and the environment. Meanwhile, a Harpswell legislator’s bill will help sustain the program and make it possible for more communities to participate.
