At their Sept. 23 meeting, Beals selectmen chose a contractor for repair of the town landing, damaged nearly two years ago in fierce winter storms. Carver Construction Inc. of Jonesport, whose bid was $25,600, was the only bidder on the job, which includes replacing a piling and removing and replacing asphalt in the parking lot. The town was awarded $21,350 for the job and has used $2,000 already. The board agreed to invite Jim Carver to their Oct. 14 meeting to sign a contract and discuss the timing and end date of the project.
