This key was found down at the big ball field. It's now at the town office if it belongs to you.

We've received a report of a new mobile home blocking 131 arount the Beach Point Rd. area in Martinsville. We don't have any good info about much right now, but in the short term consider using Ridge Rd is you need to get in/out of Port Clyde.

The tennis and pickleball courts are in the process of being resurfaced and will be closed through Monday. We expect them to re-open for play Tuesday September 23rd. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Did you know that in 1988 there was a rumor in town that someone was looking to

As of this morning (Monday) the meeting calendar for the town is light this week. On Tuesday the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee meets at 2pm, and that's the only meeting for the week! (Unless something pops up suddenly--and if it does we'll let you know.)

This is Rob. Up at the transfer station they call him "The Operator." When asked to explain that, Transfer Station Manager Ben said "He's an artist with anything machinery." When he's not working Rob likes fishing and dirt biking, and being with his grandkids. He's also fond of coffee, which means he's good people. Next time you're at the transfer station be sure to give Rob a wave.

If you're reading this it's after 4pm on Friday 08/29/2025. The town office will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday. (The transfer station will be closed Monday too, just like it is every Monday!) We will both reopen for business on Tuesday September 2nd at 8am.

The town office IS open today. What we're trying to do is not have people park overnight, or use our parking lot for overflow parking for their weekend family reunion, or otherwise jam up the parking lot for non town business. We're trying to keep it open for the lobster stew drive thru on Saturday. If you're coming into the town office for business today (Friday) feel free to park in out lot. Just don't plan to leave your car here while you take your boat out to the island this weekend.

Have your borne witness to burn-outs being done on a town road? Have you been awakened well after sundown by the sound of screaching tires? If so, PLEASE dial 911 and report the incident while it's happening. The Knox County Sheriff's Office informs us that emailing them about the event is NOT sufficient to provide them with a pattern. Instead, only phone calls to 911 can be used to establish a pattern. So please, if you witness this happening, call 911.

The town develops its proposed budget each year between January and March. This is a collaborative process between the Town Manager, the Budget Committee, and the Select Board. Every meeting is posted on the town calendar and open to the public. The town's proposed budget is finalized in the spring and published in the Annual Town Report. The amount the town spends is decided by you, the voters of St. George, at the in-person annual town meeting. Residents are welcome to participate at any stage of this process. Thank you Susan Ellis, Greg Soutiea, Scott Vaitones, and Chris Williamson for serving on this committee.
