The Community Economic Development Committee is looking for more mural artists to paint around town in keeping with the theme Explore Gray. The CEDC will also be working on a new 2022 spring/summer design for the street pole banners.

If you are an artist in Gray, know of a Gray-New Gloucester student artist or would like to help the CEDC with either of these projects, contact Kristen Muszynski, community planner for the town of Gray, at 657-3339.

To get involved with the Village Green or work on other projects like the Gray Historical Society’s Great Fire of 1866 kiosk and/or other historical sites and the Gray Public Library’s mini lending library, email Lacy Antonson at lacy@antonson.us, call 657-3339 or see graymaine.org for more information.

New Geographic Information System (GIS) Map Layers are now available online. Gray’s online GIS maps are a great way to learn about Gray’s geography, and now you can view more layers than ever, including Department of Environmental Protection mining sites; Gray water system and trails; endangered, threatened and wildlife of special concern; vernal pools and aquifers; deer wintering areas; FEMA flood zones; overlay zones; and conservation lands. See graymaine.org.

The Gray Public Library will be providing take-and-make gingerbread house kits, in place of its usual Gingerbread House Day, on Friday and Saturday. Parents are asked to preregister for a kit, which can be done at the library’s website or by emailing graylib@graymaine.org with “Gingerbread” in the subject line.
