Bar Harbor council wants to demolish defunct ferry terminal pier and build new marina

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 23, 2021

The Bar Harbor Town Council has endorsed the idea of demolishing the old ferry terminal pier on Route 3 that’s been out of use. The town would replace it with a new structure that would accommodate a marina at the site. When the work might be done has not been determined, as key aspects of the project are still up in the air. The town has not budgeted money for the project and so still has to figure out how it will pay for it. The 7-acre waterfront property has not been used since 2009, when Bay Ferries ended its service between Bar Harbor and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
