In 2023, Wiscasset and other towns dealt with how to get and keep workers, improve residents’ and businesses’ internet access and, in Wiscasset’s case, how to protect the wastewater treatment plant from the rising water of climate change.
Wiscasset selectmen Dec. 5 amended the longtime, midnight to 6 a.m. Nov. 15 to April 15, on-street parking ban to instead have public works place a ban as needed, based on the weather. That is what a lot of towns do, Town Manager Dennis Simmons said.
