Jonesport Officials Irked by Disaster Money Delay

By Nancy Beal

Jonesport selectmen recently solicited bids on repairing the embankment between Richardson Cemetery and Moosabec Reach, promising to open them and select one at their Sept. 24 meeting.

The embankment was severely eroded by the infamous January 2024 storms. Three bids were submitted by the board’s deadline, and one of the contractors was present at the meeting. What was lacking and would end up stalling the process was the disaster money promised by the federal government and earmarked for the damage caused by those storms.
