Abstract

Brief article about a proposed 44-unit housing project on land owned by Jackson Laboratory on Schooner Head Road, across from its Bar Harbor campus. Discusses the difficulties faced by Jackson Labs employees trying to find affordable housing in Bar Harbor, including the dearth of year-round rentals and the limits placed on development in the area by Acadia National Park. Describes the intended benefits of the project, such as the reduction of employee commutes and the boost to the local economy brought by an increase in permanent residents.
