DPAC Meeting Minutes & Agenda are now Online!
DPAC is the Damariscotta Planning Advisory Committee, established by Damariscotta’s selectmen in June 2007 as a think tank to advise Damariscotta's Board of Selectmen on what the community hopes Damariscotta will look like in the future. DPAC is made up of a broad range of individuals with specific planning, development or other skills, or simply an interest in ensuring that the future of the town reflects the broadest consensus of opinion rather than that of special interests.
DPAC’s Mission Statement is to lead a community-driven process to make the Damariscotta region a better place to live, work, play, do business and visit for people of all ages by advancing policies and practices that foster sustainable land use and prosperity. In short, DPAC wants to avoid contentious town development issues that can (and have) easily polarize communities. DPAC hopes to leverage the community’s wisdom and experience to turn its dreams into reality"
Our community's future will be shaped by the people who live and work in this town--that's you--to help develop a vision of Damariscotta’s future that captures its true “Heart and Soul.” Please join our discussions or start a new one.
