I know that some of you are doing early voting. If you are at Town Hall to vote or on other business, please fill out the survey on the front desk. The Marine Resources sub-committee of the Comprehensive Plan is requesting that you take time to fill out the survey as it relates to our Working Waterfront, a very important part of Phippsburg's present economy and to our future. Survey copies will be available during voting on November 5th, are at the area churches and the Totman Library. Thanks very much for your help in answering the questions on this survey. Your opinion does matter!!!
