Town Manager Dan Bryer received one complaint about a Lincoln County message board at the roundabout. The message said ‘Santa is watching. Wear a mask.’ Bryer did not forward the complaint to county officials, but on Dec. 10, the message no longer appeared. BILL PEARSON/Boothbay Register
Boothbay is anxious to begin Clifford Park renovations, but it looks like the project will not begin until at least early summer. The town was recently notified it qualified for a federal $250,000 Land and Water Grant and another $250,000 from local businessman Paul Coulombe as part of a required local match. “There is a glut of federal grants, and ours won’t be processed until early summer. We planned an aggressive approach seeking engineering and other bids this spring, but it’s looking more like June, at the earliest, before getting started,” Town Manager Dan Bryer said.
