Sullivan — Jason Parent, CEO of Community Action in Aroostook, Washington and Hancock counties, briefed the Sullivan Selectboard on April 6 about service changes and plans after the closing of Downeast Community Partners.
Parent described the agency’s current service delivery for residents in Sullivan and neighboring communities and distributed a written report summarizing programs and supports available locally. He said Community Action is adapting operations to ensure continuity of services previously provided by Downeast Community Partners and to communicate those changes to municipal offices and residents.
The presentation did not include detailed funding figures in the minutes; Parent provided a written handout for Selectboard members and the public. The Selectboard received the report and no formal vote was recorded on the presentation itself.
Town officials noted the importance of clear public information about where residents should seek services that may have been affected by the Downeast closure. The Selectboard’s next meeting on April 21 may include follow up items if staff or board members identify additional coordination needs.
