Nate McLaughlin, a principal at Saco-based firm Woodard & Curran (W&C) outlined five options for the board at its April 26 meeting. W&C had been hired by the Select Board in February to conduct a $10,000 study which included performing a sewer user charge/flow appropriation calculation, within which the firm would review the the rate structure pertaining to the interlocal agreements with Camden and Rockland.

Rockport town officials: Do the hard work, show voters a funding plan for village parking lot
Peter Hall Thu, 04/15/2021 - 9:45am
The recent article in the PenBay Pilot on a prospective parking lot in Rockport Village has some misleading information for the Rockport voters.
A TIF (tax increment financing) is used to finance redevelopment projects with the idea that anticipated future tax revenue from new development as a result will pay for the expenditure without using present tax dollars.
It was stated that the new hotel in the Village could be used to help pay for the project. That is just wrong. The hotel was approved and is being built in spite of the parking issues. It will be built with or without the parking lot.
