Harpswell will hold a public meeting March 19 at 6 p.m. at the town office regarding plans for the administrative building at Mitchell Field.
The building sits on a large open space in the field. Residents have proposed using it for educational opportunities like a library or marine studies, a potential shared resource for nonprofits and the community, or as a revenue source for the town if leased to an entity compatible with the site. Demolition to make room for something else has also been discussed.
Midcoast Council of Governments will present more information. The estimated costs will be shared.
