The state is supposed to be sending PPE which includes face shields and this is a paid position. If interested please call 722-3439 or email the office at
jacksonme@fairpoint.netThe Jackson Food Pantry is having Drive Thru food distributions every other 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!
The Library, swap shop, and recycling will be closed until further notice.
NOTICE
The Town Office lobby will be open for 1 person at a time. If a couple, only 1 will be allowed in. Leave your children in vehicle or at home You must wear a mask inside—as you stand higher than me at the counter. If you choose not to wear a mask I will wait on you at the walk-up window My phone will not be available for you to use so please have all your information ( insurance cards etc).
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. 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. Boat and ATV registrations must be renewed.
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.
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.
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.
