MOUNT DESERT ISLANDER • June 29, 2020
A half-acre parcel of property at 392 Main Street that neighbors Chris’s Pond has come before the town as an investment option before it goes up for sale on the open market. Selectmen voted to pursue options, presented to Maine Coast Heritage Trust by its owners, for the property to be a possible enhancement to the Chris’s Pond property. A conservation easement is held by MCHT for the Chris’s Pond property, which is on the other side of a right of way from the half-acre parcel up for consideration. In addition to enhancing the Chris’s Pond property, members of the board talked about it being an option for workforce housing.
