Neighbor to Neighbor...
DPAC members have begun 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.
