New committee gets to work addressing Harpswell’s housing needs

Harpswell's Housing Committee has begun to explore both near- and longer-term solutions to the town's housing shortage. Its first meetings have focused on how to boost housing options such as home sharing and accessory dwelling units, and exploring the creation of a housing trust or similar entity that could build or manage housing.

Select Board appoints permanent Housing Committee

The Harpswell Select Board appointed five members to a new, permanent Housing Committee on Nov. 6. Bob Gaudreau, Cheryl Golek, Steve Normand, Sean Ruel, and Courtenay Snellings were the only applicants and received the board's unanimous approval.

Town to pursue taller, wider dock for Potts Point

The town plans to pursue federal and state funds to build a sturdier dock at Potts Point that will replace the one lost during January's storms. While those funds could largely cover the extra cost of building the dock taller and wider to better withstand future storms, voters may have to approve the full cost at the March Town Meeting without knowing if Harpswell will be reimbursed.
