The Library will remain closed and all scheduled events including the Spring plant sale have been cancelled until further notice due to the pandemic.
Primary
Election: Governor Mills has
ordered the primary election moved to Tuesday July 14. There
will be a new emphasis on absentee voting this year. There are 3 ways to get an absentee
ballot:
1. Request your absentee ballot directly from your town office.
2. Go online to request an absentee ballot:
https://www.maine.gov/cgi-bin/online/AbsenteeBallot/index.pl.
3. Print, fill out, and mail in this absentee ballot
request form.
To anyone requesting an absentee ballot I wanted to
let you know that the state will start mailing them out to the towns
the week of June 8, 2020. When I get them I will start sending them out
to the applicants.
The Jackson Food Pantry is having Drive Thru food distributions every Monday from 11:15AM until 12:30PM. If someone else is picking up your box for you, YOU MUST CALL 722-3205 or 722-3373 and make arrangements THE DAY BEFORE pickup!
Brown Goods Day: May 10, 2020 8-4
Swap shop and recycling WILL NOT be open
Maintain distances. Be safe.
NOTICE
The Town Office has gone to walk up service only using the sliding window
at the front of the office. You will not be allowed inside the building
unless you are a town employee. If you have questions regarding vehicle
registrations please call 722-3439 as the rules are changing daily. If
your vehicle registration has expired during March or in the coming
months you are okay and will not be cited. You will have 30 days after
the emergency order is lifted.
Vehicle Registrations
If
your vehicle registration expires during this time you do not need
to worry, you will not be cited. Now I cannot say this will happen if
your registration expired in 2019 and you just failed to register it.
Taxes
You
can mail a check. If you call me, I can give you your payoff and if
mailed that day I will not charge additional interest due to delays in
the mail.
Now the governor has come out with some new restrictions today so I may have to go to walk up window service only.
Take care, be patient and kind

The Unity Area Regional Recycling Center will continue to be closed to the public through this COVID-19 State of Emergency. This
is why we have gone to no recycling at this time. The Transfer Station is
open for your bagged trash only and are asking you to throw your own
bags into the dumpsters. The metal dumpster is also still available. The swap shop is closed. We will be scheduling a Brown Goods Day in May, depending on the COVID-19 State of Emergency.
The Jackson Town Meeting previously posted for March 21st has been postponed until further notice.Selectmen’s meetings will be canceled until further notice. The selectmen will be in to sign warrants so that bills can still be paid. The
Maine Legislature has enacted LD 2167 which provides that in the event that Town meetings
are postponed municipalities are allowed to continue to fund government
operations at the budget levels approved for the previous year and
allows the treasurer to disburse funds on the authority of a warrant
signed by the selectmen outside of a public meeting.
Due to the coronavirus concerns all events at the Jackson Library have
been postponed and the Library will be closed until further notice. The
key at the town office will not be available during the Library closure
period and the Library will not be open on Sunday during the transfer
station hours. The Library board is sorry for the inconvenience.
The monthly meetings of the Jackson Planning Board will be postponed
until further notice. If you have a need to address the Board please
contact Jackson Town Clerk Brenda Dennison at 207-722-3439.
