Three town properties have new amenities this summer, or will soon, thanks in part to gifts of time and money.

The town of Harpswell will observe Juneteenth as a paid holiday in 2022, following recent moves by the federal and state governments to make June 19 a holiday.

Harpswell has been the setting for an episode of the television show “Dock & Dine,” a commercial, and photo shoots by a major retailer in recent months.

Three town roads will benefit from more than $600,000 of work over the next few months: Basin Point Road, Grover Lane, and Gurnet Landing Road.

After a year, three months, six days, and about five hours, the state of civil emergency in Harpswell is officially over as of June 24.
