The Horton Emerson Park project has been completed—at least, for now. We hope the project team will continue to work with the Select Board to keep the park in tip-top condition. But they may need some help from time to time for weeding, clean-up and repairs.
The Town of Blue Hill has filed an application with MaineDOT for $400,000 of state/federal funds (to match a $100,000 local contribution by the Town) toward the redevelopment of South St. between the rotary and The Bay School.
If approved, the funds would be available in 2020.
Fingers crossed…
