Selectmen list action items: outreach to owners, grant research, volunteers sought
Summary
The Selectmen and Town Manager listed six action items after the Sept. 18 meeting, including contacting property owners about price/grace periods, promoting a public survey, researching grants, engaging land trusts, asking local philanthropists to help, and posting meeting materials online.
At the meeting's close the Selectmen adopted a set of action items to advance community options for the Winter Harbor Marina: 1) ask whether the property owners would consider a fixed price or grace period to allow fundraising; 2) continue promoting a public survey via QR code and the town website; 3) research eligible grants and reach out to technical partners; 4) approach local philanthropists and businesses; 5) recruit volunteers with grant-writing or marina-management expertise; and 6) post meeting notes and recordings online for transparency.
No formal motion or vote was recorded; the actions were framed as assignments and invitations for volunteers and staff research. The Selectmen and Town Manager emphasized that the meeting marked the start of an extended community conversation and that follow-up updates will be provided at future Selectmen meetings.
