Wiscasset’s first selectmen’s meeting post-elections was hours away at press time and might have been going to yield news on Mason Station, as Phil Di Vece reports this week. Thank you to this great reporter for doing what he does, great reporting.

And check wiscassetnewspaper.com and next week’s print edition for any new developments out of the June 20 meeting. The new board, mostly unchanged in membership, has much on its plate and potential plate post-town meeting and we will continue to follow the board’s deliberations and decisions. 

Speaking of coverage, we are still looking for another paid news contributor to help us cover the Wiscasset area. You do not have to be another Phil Di Vece – because who could be – but if the needs we list in the ad sound like you, consider applying – please.

Week’s positive parting thought: Here comes the first week of summer on the Midcoast. Taste it in strawberries at St. Philip’s Strawberry Festival on Hodge Street in Wiscasset Saturday. Take in local culture at Wiscasset Art Walk’s 2023 premiere Thursday, June 29. And keep up with events and more at wiscassetnewspaper.com’s and boothbayregister.com’s “Summertime” page. Fresh articles are always being added, and the month by month events schedule can help you plan your stay or your summer!
