The town of Wiscasset has started a new text program for residents. Several cities and towns in Maine are using it. If you go to the town’s website at wiscasset.org you can see the Text Widget pop up in the left-hand corner.

You simply text to sign up and can text to ask questions, report a pot hole, find out where to report an animal complaint, see committee agendas, and so on. You will receive an automatic response that will prompt your next step, or simply answer your questions. You can opt out at any time.

Please do reach out to me if you have any questions.
