BLUE HILL
Since the 1700s, the town of Blue Hill has been governed by a three-member Board of Selectmen, according to Selectman Jim Dow.
But times have changed and the board, which is currently at two members due to former Selectman Vaughn Leach’s resignation, would like to add more members.
The selectmen held a public hearing Monday to discuss the annual Town Meeting warrant, which will be held by referendum due to the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying social distancing requirements that Governor Janet Mills still has in place.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 20, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Blue Hill Consolidated School gymnasium.
