Pursuit of grants stopped; projects dead in the water
SOUTHWEST HARBOR Residents will not get the chance to vote on Warrant Article 43 at the annual Town Meeting on June 5.
The article asked if voters want to pursue grant funding for two projects in town, but the Board of Selectmen decided on Tuesday to amend the annual Town Meeting warrant to exclude it.
Expansion and development of the Manset Dock was one of the projects and developing a parcel of property adjacent to Chris’s Pond that would include low–income housing was the second. Those involved with coordinating the projects were pursuing grant money from the state’s Land and Water Conservation Fund with an application deadline of the end of this month, as well as a federal Small Harbor Improvement Program (SHIP) grant.
FW Thurston Co. applies to increase floats and shore access
TREMONT After several years of negotiating with the town regarding the position of floats, the owners of FW Thurston Co. are submitting two applications for Tier 3 Natural Resources Protection Act permits with the Department of Environmental Protection to add 14 floats in total to their operation in Bernard.
FW Thurston buys and sells lobsters and operates Thurston’s Lobster Pound on the western shore of Bass Harbor, next to the town’s wharf in Bernard.
One application submitted under Woof Wagon LLC is for a marina on the north side of the property that abuts the town wharf. A second application, under Michael and Elizabeth Radcliffe, owners of FW Thurston, is on the south side of the property.
