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"

Charrette Presentations Available On-Line

 

If you would like a better look at the Opening and Final Charrette presentations, you may view them on-line as a PDF. Visit  Damariscotta Heart and Soul at the Friends of Midcoast Maine website.  These presentations are quite large and take a while to download.

"What Makes Damariscotta, Damariscotta?"

 

The movie "What Makes Damariscotta Damariscotta?"  is available for a small donation. It is playable on a computer, not a DVD player. If you have already ordered a copy, please call the DPAC telephone at 380-4802 and we will arrange to drop off or mail your copy.

 

You now may also view the video, but not download it, on You-Tube at What Makes Damariscotta, Damariscotta?"
