FRYEBURG, Maine — Selectmen last Thursday finalized the town meeting warrant and set the date for a new Zoom public hearing to review all the warrant articles to be voted on by ballot next month. An article surrounding a 99-year lease of the airport has already raised eyebrows.
Because of COVID-19, all articles will be voted on by secret ballot on July 14, the date of Maine’s primary election.
