UMaine mentioned in Forecaster article on Topsham vernal pool regulation vote
The University of Maine was mentioned in The Forecaster article, “Topsham to vote on budget, vernal pools regulations.” Topsham residents will vote on a $9.3 million municipal budget for fiscal year 2017 at the town meeting on May 18, according to the article. Another item that will be put before voters would amend the town code to create a vernal pool overlay zoning district, the article states. Rich Roedner, the town manager, said the change stems from the town’s effort a few years ago — with help from a UMaine grant that trained citizen surveyors — to map out significant vernal pools.
