Mon, 03/15/2021 - 5:00pm Dear Editor: At a public hearing last Wednesday, only two Alna citizens spoke in favor of a ballot measure to change the town’s Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, to permit “permanent structures” below the Sheepscot River’s normal high water line. Many more citizens, as well as a Newcastle resident across the river and the executive director of the Midcoast Conservancy, spoke in opposition. The ballot measure will be voted on on March 27. The two proponents were the person who submitted the proposed change, and Jeff Spinney, whose project to excavate a private stone boat ramp on the river has roiled the town for over a year.
