Zoom meeting to gauge interest in supported living
MOUNT DESERT ISLAND ─ Do you have a family member with disabilities who lives at home but who wants to live more independently?
Join Janet Hamel, whose daughter Marty dreams of having her own place downtown, for a Zoom meeting on Thursday, Feb. 18, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. to explore what interest there may be in establishing a housing situation in Bar Harbor for those with disabilities to live independently, but with support.

One appeal denied, one withdrawn for proposed campground
TREMONT Representatives of the proposed Pointy Head Campground project withdrew their administrative appeal during the second phase of a hearing before the town’s Board of Appeals on Jan. 7.
During the first phase of the Board of Appeals hearing in December, members of the board unanimously denied a variance appeal from the campground’s representatives before tabling the administrative appeal to seek assistance from the town’s attorney. In determining whether there was basis for an appeal, board members wanted to understand how the town’s Land Use Ordinance and Site Plan Review Ordinance were to be considered in proposed construction projects.
