Move Wiscasset forward

Tue, 04/03/2018 - 9:30am

Dear Editor:

Wiscasset and surrounding Midcoast residents and business owners have formed a new organization called Wiscasset Thinks Forward. Our organization’s mission is to support and promote initiatives that will have a positive effect on Wiscasset and help move Wiscasset forward.

Our goal is to work with town government, the Maine Department of Transportation, and all citizens to collaboratively create a safe, accessible, and thriving downtown.

Our organization's current initiatives are: Support the April 17 referendum vote – members will be out talking with residents about the upcoming vote with facts not rhetoric and to urge residents to vote; work collaboratively with town government and the Maine Department of Transportation on the Downtown Improvement Plan to create a safe, vibrant, and accessible downtown; support initiatives that will promote an inviting downtown to attract diversified businesses and families to locate here; encourage all residents to work together to honor and preserve the historical nature of our village as we prepare for growth and prosperity; reinforce a positive image of Wiscasset.

Our group meets weekly. Our group is growing and we welcome new members. Contact info: email WiscassetTF@yahoo.com; Facebook – “Wiscssset Thinks Forward.”
