“The impacts are coming for sure,” said Stonington Town Manager Kathleen Billings, who forecasts longer wait times for municipal services, including road plowing, registering vehicles and other services, such as permits issued by code enforcement officers, who are in short supply.
HOME lends a hand to residents of troubled motel
BUCKSPORT HOME Cooperative has been working to find housing for more than two dozen people who reside at the Spring Fountain Motel, which the Bucksport Town Council may declare a dangerous building after an April 8 hearing.
If found to be dangerous building, the town could order all inhabitants to vacate the motel. Life safety issues are being cited as a reason to declare the motel dangerous. The issues include a lack of heat and water and electricity issues in some of the rooms.
However, an employee at the motel on Tuesday said that all the residents now have heat and electricity and running water. The motel, which rents rooms by the week as well as by the month, belongs to Asad Khaqan, a New Jersey resident. Efforts to reach Khaqan have been unsuccessful. The motel’s phone number has been disconnected.
