MOUNT DESERT ISLANDER
MOUNT DESERT “I frequently hear from families that want to move here and are having a really hard time finding affordable housing in the town of Mount Desert,” said Gloria Delsandro, principal at Mount Desert Elementary School.
She said the school has lost potential students because of that.
“It’s not an outlandish number, but it is a challenge,” she said.
“This is a great place to live. And I know there are hard-working families that want to be part of the community year-round. I would take all the children, but I can’t [because of the housing situation], and that makes me sad. We have a wonderful school, and I would love to have more children.”
