Neighbor to Neighbor...
DPAC members will now be collecting stories about life in Damariscotta on Tuesdays in February from 10-2 p.m. in the Skidompha Library.
 
DPAC members have begun meeting with residents of Damariscotta and surrounding communities to collect stories which will help identify the values we think are important and to help build a vision for the town 
 
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.
