Bar Harbor Town Council Candidate Forums Monday May 8 and Tuesday May 9
To say that the Bar Harbor Town Council elections in June this year are one of the most important in recent history isn't an understatement. The new Council will have to find a new Town Manager, fund a new school or major repair at Conners-Emerson, deal with the cruise ships and passenger limits and the outcome of the suit, as well as continue to deal with the lack of affordable housing, vacation rentals and anything else that might pop up! It's a plateful and a half!
The League of Women Voters will be hosting 2 candidate forums, the first on Monday, May 8 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
