It’s our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
May 12, 2025
The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by Edward Jones Financial Advisor: Elise N. Frank.
This week (Monday and Tuesday!) is Tremont’s town meeting! More details below.
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 on the town and school calendars are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to doublecheck before you head over! This is especially true if no agenda has been posted. Sometimes agendas are posted later in the week and are not available at our Monday press time. And sometimes (because Southwest Harbor’s website has corruption issues) we can’t safely download an agenda.
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then put school meetings together.
Again, if there are no agendas posted for an event, please verify with the town that it is occurring. We don’t want you heading over for no reason.
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
When things change and we know (agendas are uploaded, meetings are cancelled), we will do our best to update the article as well.
BAR HARBOR
