Public commenter urges continued town support for JMG nonprofit program serving students
Summary
During public comment, Larry Thornton described JMG as Maine's largest nonprofit in Augusta serving 13,000 students and asked the town for continued support after a successful community event.
Larry Thornton addressed the board during the public comment period to describe the work of JMG and to request continued town support. In the minutes Thornton said the organization is "Maine Largest nonprofit in Augusta" and that "we service 13,000 students with skills for later in life," and he cited a successful 'Make a difference day.'
The comments were presented as a public appeal; the minutes record the request but do not list any board response or formal follow-up commitment in the meeting record. The Town Manager noted the board would "circle back around on a Community Clean up date," but the minutes do not connect that scheduling note directly to Thornton's request.
The board did not take formal action on Thornton's request during this meeting.
