With help from their friends, Acadia National Park is addressing a severe lack of seasonal employee housing. Today, Friends of Acadia hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony that celebrated the completion of one major construction project and the start of another that will open doors for park employees. Today’s event heralded the Friends of Acadia’s completion of eight bedrooms on a 4-acre parcel at Dane Farm in Seal Harbor. Speakers emphasized that housing options are essential to attract and retain employees dedicated to the ongoing preservation, protection and enjoyment of the park for current and future visitors.
