The Wiscasset Waterfront Committee on April 28 welcomed new member David Gagnon. He has lived in Wiscasset all his life, and has spent much of it serving his town.

Gagnon has been a member of the Wiscasset Fire Department since 1977. He put in many years at the town highway department before moving to his present job, at the sewage treatment plant.

Asked why he wanted to be on the committee, Gagnon noted that while on the highway department he would maintain the public restrooms and other parts of the waterfront as part of his job, and he still cares about that area of town.

“I’ve just got a passion for the waterfront,” he said.

Wiscasset Harbor Master Preston Dunning once served with Gagnon on the fire department. Gagnon will make a good addition to the committee, Dunning said.
