Machiasport Shellfish Committee Chairman Zack Wood and Town Clerk Marcia Hayward are the newest members appointed to the Upper Machias Bay Project’s Leadership Committee, following a unanimous vote by the town’s selectboard on Nov. 25. 

The appointment followed a presentation by Sunrise County Economic Council’s Sustainable Prosperity Initiative Director Tora Johnson. Selectboard member Sarah Craighead Dedmon already serves on that committee, but for Machias, in her role as the Shiretown’s interim operations manager.
