Jonesport’s Voters Grant the Selectboard Conditional Authority on Gifts
By Nancy Beal
The article on Jonesport’s annual town meeting warrant allowing the selectboard to accept a variety of state and federal grants will be enhanced at next year’s annual town meeting in March.
The additional language is being added to include “gifts, donations and pledges for specific town projects” to the traditional list. That language arose in connection with Jonesport’s current controversy over what to do with the old Cummins & Norton store in West Jonesport, now called the Dow building.
