Planning Board


IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATED TO COVID-19:



The Bar Harbor Town Council on March 16 declared a pandemic emergency and unanimously approved an emergency ordinance closing municipal offices to the public, and cancelling all non-emergency meetings, through at least Monday, March 30. The emergency ordinance can be viewed here.

Due to the preparatory work and meetings that would need to take place in advance, the Planning Board meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 1 is cancelled. It is possible that the Town Council will choose to extend the provisions it enacted on March 16 for a longer period of time, beyond March 30, as that date draws closer. That could potentially affect additional Planning Board meetings.

Staff is working with applicants who are already in the Planning Board review process to continue advancing those projects forward within the parameters of town ordinance and state statute. Anyone with questions about a pending or planned project is encouraged to contact Planning Director Michele Gagnon by emailing planner@barharbormaine.gov for more information.

This page will be updated when new information is available about what the schedule and process will look like for Planning Board applications until operations return to normal. This is uncharted territory for everyone — thank you for your understanding.
