Survey Deadline Extended! Two Cents
 
We have extended the survey deadline a few extra weeks to give everyone a chance to complete it on-line or on a paper copy.  If you have not taken the survey, please click DAMARISCOTTA SURVEY  or pick up a copy at the Heart and Soul office at the Chamber of Commerce. 
 
It only takes a few minutes to give us your two cents!  We have already received over 150 responses; make sure your perspective is added to the mix.
 
Completed paper copies may be mailed or delivered to:

Generation Y Gives their Two Cents
 
B Oliver
Brittany Oliver, our youth intern, has already developed a FaceBook site to network with young people in town.  "Damariscotta Generation Y" already has almost 100 fans and the conversation and comments about life in Damariscotta are flowing.  Geared toward 15 to 30 year olds, or Generation Y's, Brittany is listening to the ideas of these young people and letting DPAC members know what they think.  Brittany is also planning some activities for young people that will take place in August.
Save the Dates...October 19 through 25! workshop
 
One of the major activities that DPAC is working on is a week long "charrette" or planning workshop that focuses on the Business Route One corridor and the Piper Village property. Within the next few weeks, one consultant team will be chosen by the Town to work with DPAC and to assist the town with this planning  process.  (Thirteen comprehensive proposals were received from consultant teams and five teams are being interviewed this week and next.)
 
During the week of October 19 to 25, there will be multiple opportunities for everyone in town to participate in discussions and hands-on opportunities to suggest designs and patterns for future growth for this area. There will be lots more information coming soon about this charrette week, but mark your calendars now and save the dates.
Please forward this information to your friends, neighbors and colleagues who may be interested in hearing more about DPAC and the future of Damariscotta. 
 
Sincerely,
Jane Lafleur
