It’s our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Dec 09, 2024
Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton government and school meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something.
Also, sometimes things are on the town calendars and are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to double check before you head over! This is especially true if no agenda has been posted.
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then put school meetings together.

3rd Floor Meeting Room – Suite 301, 93 Cottage St., Bar Harbor
There is no agenda currently posted. Please check before heading over to make sure the meeting is happening.
Public Meeting on the Town Hill Affordable Workforce Housing Project
Thursday, December 12, 2024
Sign-in starts at 5:30 p.m. in the cafeteria at MDI High School where pizza will be provided. Starting at 6:00 p.m., Acadia National Park and the Town of Bar Harbor will share a presentation and take questions and feedback on the project. We will discuss the project’s status and next steps. Although this project is still in the early stages, we will do our best to answer questions.
If you have questions, please contact me (cmartinez@barharbormaine.gov or 207-288-1788) and/or John Kelly (john_t_kelly@nps.gov or 207-288-8703).
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
According to Bar Harbor’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
