Electric Announcement Sign Coming Soon
The electric sign is in! As soon as possible, our electrician will be connecting it to power, and we'll be able to announce many more town meetings and events, and will also help notify residents of important safety information during emergences. If you have any questions, reach out to townclerk@westportisland.gov.
Builders wanted for Town Hall repairs and projects
Are you a builder or contractor? Know one? We need to hire someone to make repairs to the historic Town Hall and build an ADA compliant entryway structure and bathroom. Please email townclerk@westportisland.gov if interested in any of those projects!
Town Meeting Prep
The Town Meeting isn't until June 21st, but preparations start now! If you've got any thoughts on our ordinances, ideas for projects, or general input about the direction of the town, let the Select Board know at selectboard@westportisland.gov or (207) 882-8477, x.4.
WCA Community Support Exploratory Committee
The WCA has generously agreed to form an exploratory committee to determine how best to replace the important work of Helping Hands as that organization winds down. This committee will determine the needs of our community and assess what neighboring towns are doing to address their resident’s needs. Anyone interested, please contact Meg Skidmore at westportcommunityassociation@gmail.com.
