Threadbare Theatre Workshop Sponsored

February 10, 2021

Blue Hill Community Development’s board has welcomed Threadbare Theatre Workshop as its most recent sponsored project.

For 2021, the Workshop is preparing to offer two COVID-19-compliant, socially distanced productions in partnership with Carding Brook Farm.

South St. Sidewalk Comments Solicited by DOT

February 10, 2021

MaineDOT has posted an “on-demand public meeting” on its website with respect to the proposed project to construct a sidewalk on South Street from Tradewinds to the Bay School.

THE COMMENT PERIOD WILL CLOSE ON FEBRUARY 19, 2021.

The scope of the proposed project was reduced from building sidewalks on both sides of the street due to higher project costs estimated by MaineDOT and the $400,000 maximum size of the grant awarded to cover 80% of the cost. (The Town of Blue Hill has previously voted to appropriate $100,000, representing the 20% local contribution to the project.)

The link to view the video and provide comments to MaineDOT is available for both desktop and mobile users.
