      Toddy Pond Dam Meeting: 2/12

      02/11/2025 (Five-Town Dam Committee, Public Hearings, Select Board)

      A public information and feedback session will be held on Wednesday, February 12 to:

      • provide an update on the process for considering ownership of the Toddy Pond dam,
      • answer questions about the status of the effort, and
      • most importantly, solicit community input on how potential ownership of the dam should be structured and who should bear the costs of ownership

      Feedback from this session will inform the Blue Hill Select Board, and the other three towns abutting Toddy Pond, as to the community’s views on:

      • Whether the dam should remain or the waters forming Toddy Pond released, and
      • If the dam is retained, how costs of ownership should be apportioned between property owners and general Blue Hill taxpayers.

      All members of the community are invited to attend to share their input.

      Property Tax Survey Available

      01/23/2025 (Five-Town Dam Committee)

      Although the 2025 budget won’t be set until our Annual Town Meeting in April, the developments around what to do with the Toddy Pond dam have caused the four abutting towns to develop a survey of residents and waterfront property owners to better understand whether and, if so, how much municipal funds (i.e., property taxes) should be used to support the future ownership and operating costs of the dams.

      We are looking for the broadest possible representation of Blue Hill voters (and others’) views on this matter via a very short survey.
