Take the Survey

The survey is the first public outreach effort and aimed at a wide audience to gather candid information about how people perceive the town, concerns, and what they value. You can take the survey online or on paper.

The survey is now closed! Thanks to all who participated. A survey summary will be available.

Request a “Meeting in a Box”

Can’t attend a public meeting but want to still participate in the discussion? You can request a Meeting in a Box! The Meeting in a Box kit is a tool designed for use by civic associations, church groups, knitting groups, bridge groups - any community groups or friends! - to gather and share their ideas for the future of the Town of Mount Desert. The Meeting in a Box kit contains everything you need to host a discussion about the future of the Town of Mount Desert. This includes materials shared at public meetings with instructions on discussion questions and how to provide feedback. For more information or to request a Meeting in a Box, please contact compplan@mtdesert.org.
