One hundred thirty-eight Jonesporters collected, completed and returned a survey on a proposed aerospace project that a committee charged with writing an ordinance on the subject asked its citizens to take part in. The survey was prompted by a proposal put forth by bluShift Aerospace, a small Brunswick company, to erect a rocket launch site on the town’s Water Island. The island is located at the ocean entrance to Eastern Bay next to Mistake Island where Moosepeak Lighthouse is located.
