There is no eminent project slated for Southport, but Maine Department of Transportation has sent selectmen a construction over-limit permit. During the Sept. 28 board meeting, Selectman Gerry Gamage called the correspondence a formality. “There is no project, and this is so they can bring in heavy equipment for future bridge construction,” he said. 

In other board action, selectmen approved Jodi Brewer’s request to use the town hall on Oct. 27 and 28. A public hearing will be held for her kelp farm lease renewal. Selectmen meet next at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5 in the town office.
