Longer-form draft.
A look back at the March 16 Brunswick Town Council meeting reveals several critical issues that will directly impact residents in the coming months. First, the Town Manager reported a revenue shortfall caused by lower-than-expected state and local tax receipts. This news comes directly after multiple residents voiced serious concerns regarding rising property taxes and the financial burden on long-term residents. With budget workshops scheduled to begin on March 23, the Council will need to navigate these shrinking revenues while meeting the town's obligations. Second, the discussion on PFAS contamination at Brunswick Landing remains urgent. With experts describing certain areas as 'canaries in the coal mine' for contamination, the town is discussing new procedures, including mandatory third-party inspections for construction and using GIS mapping to ensure realtors and potential buyers are aware of land use controls. Finally, the Council is working on a new mobile home park ordinance to address landlord business practices and resident stability. As these budget and regulatory decisions move forward, residents should closely monitor the upcoming workshops and ordinance drafts. https://meetingwatch.org/me/brunswick/town-council/2026-03-16/ #MeetingWatch #BrunswickME
