Mackworth Island Facility Assessment and Planning Informational Meeting

Note:  This meeting has been rescheduled from Wednesday, May 18 to Wednesday, June 29 and will be an in-person meeting at Falmouth Town Hall.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, from 6:00-8:00 pm, the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, the Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing/Governor Baxter School for the Deaf, the Maine Department of Education, and the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry will hold an informational meeting about facility assessment and planning work taking place on Mackworth Island. In early 2022, Harriman Associates, an architecture, engineering, and planning firm, began work on the Mackworth Island Concept Utilization Plan. Their work included: assessing all facilities, utilities, parking, circulation, transportation; considering environmental impacts; exploring potential future uses or necessary renovations of facilities and buildings; and developing a site plan with cost estimates. In this informational meeting, Harriman Associates will present the scope of work and their findings to date. There will also be an overview of the Governor Baxter School for the Deaf and the relationship of Mackworth Island to the Town of Falmouth. An opportunity for public input and a question/answer period will conclude the meeting.  

The meeting will be held at Falmouth Town Hall Council Chambers and include an ASL interpreter. A recording of the meeting will be available online later with an opportunity for interested parties to submit questions and feedback.
