With school back in session, the Main Street detour was put to the test... and it did not go as well as it should have. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, but we recognize that the current traffic conditions are neither acceptable nor sustainable.

Thanks to a quick response from MaineDOT and Ranger Maine , adjustments will begin tomorrow morning. Flaggers will be stationed at the south end of Perkins Street to help traffic move more efficiently. This should reduce congestion extending north toward Route 2. Plans are also underway to create a safer, more clearly marked intersection at the south end of Perkins Street.

We appreciate your continued patience as these improvements are made. Just like all of you, we’re looking forward to the completion of the Main Street project!

Last week, we hosted NWS Gray Meteorologist, Donny Dumont, for a presentation on different severe weather events in Somerset County. The presentation was opened to municipalities in order to provide more information on forecast products, watches and warnings, resources for weather hazard information and planning, historical weather occurrences, and more.

Pictured below is the warning process (take action) phase of weather alerts. It explains each step in the process and the responsibility everyone has in those steps.

Do you know if your wireless emergency alerts are on?
What is your plan when you receive a warning alert?
Do you have an emergency go-bag for you and your family?
