Neighbor to Neighbor Interviews
Over the next few months, DPAC members will be meeting with residents of Damariscotta and the surrounding communities to hear about what brought them here and what keeps them here, what people think are the highlights of town, and what changes they have seen.
 
These taped audio interviews and stories about town and its people will help inform DPAC about the concerns of its citizens and businesses and their thoughts about the future. 
 
If you would like to meet with a DPAC member or if you know of someone who has an interesting story to share, please call 380-4802 or stop by the Heart and Soul office at the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce on Mondays and Tuesdays or e-mail us at dpac@friendsmidcoast.org
