State approves Machiasport purchase through Land for Maine Futures
by Sarah Craighead Dedmon
Machiasport voters last year authorized the sale of town land abutting the Fort O’Brien State Historic Site, provided the sale price was equal to or greater than the assessed value.
According to town clerk Marcia Hayward, the six-acre parcel near the Fort O’Brien School has only been accessible through the land of abutters or by sea.
