Tannery Park Community Planning Workshop — Survey Results Are In
On May 17th, a Community Planning Workshop was held at Tannery Park, organized by the Town of Camden and landscape architect Blake Sanborn of Richardson & Associates. Approximately [50/60] community members attended, making it one of the best-attended public conversations about the park's future in recent years.
The workshop focused on gathering community input on future improvements and uses for Tannery Park. In addition to the in-person session, an online survey was made available to reach residents who couldn't attend.
The full survey results are now available. We encourage every Tannery Park supporter to take a look — your community's voice is reflected in these findings.

Friends of Tannery Park will be reviewing the results carefully as we continue our work toward making Tannery Park the community park Camden has been building toward for over a decade. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming projects and how you can get involved.

Dear Friends of Tannery Park,

We have exciting news: a Community Planning Workshop for Tannery Park is happening on Sunday, May 17th at 1 pm, right at the park on Washington Street. The workshop is sponsored by the Town of Camden and facilitated by Blake Sanborn of Richardson & Associates and is open to everyone.

We are encouraging our supporters to attend for a specific reason: “Friends of Tannery Park” is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. We want to begin raising funds and develop plans for a preschool playground — and we want the community's voice to help shape it.

As many of you know, Camden has a limited number of public playgrounds in the entire town. A pre-school playground

at Tannery Park — within walking distance of village neighborhoods and right beside the Farmers' Market — would be a landmark first step in completing the park that our community has worked toward for over a decade and voted for decisively in 2022 and 2024.

The May 17th workshop is an opportunity to:

• Learn about the master landscape plan underway with Richardson & Associates

• Share your ideas about the playground and other park features

• Connect with other community members who care about Tannery Park

• Sign up to stay involved with the Friends of Tannery Park

The program begins at 1pm. In the event of rain, the meeting will be held at the Snow Bowl Lodge at the same time.

We hope to see you there. The park belongs to Camden — let's keep building it together.

Warm regards,

Friends of Tannery Park

Camden Candidates Night is Thursday, May 11 from 6:30 - 9 p.m. at the Rockport Masonic Center at 361 Main St. in Rockport.

(I am forwarding this info from Village Soup regarding the only scheduled Camden Select Board Candidate Public Q & A.

If you're a supporter of creating a permanent Tannery Park and a permanent home for the Farmers Market please come and query the candidates about their position on these and other issues of interest to you.)

Residents will have a chance to ask questions of the five candidates running for Camden Select Board at a candidate's night event Thursday, May 11 from 6:30 - 9 p.m. at the Rockport Masonic Center at 361 Main St. in Rockport.

Please note the location has changed due to construction at the formerly published location.

Two Select Board seats are up for election, each with a three-year term. They are currently held by board Chair Bob Falciani, who is not seeking reelection, and Vice Chair Alison McKellar, who is running again.

Also running are Marc Ratner, Christopher Nolan, Mary Beth Leone Thomas and Raymond Andresen.

Come to the event and learn more about each candidate for your Select Board. We will ask for questions only from the public, not statements or speeches. The event is a chance to hear from the candidates where they stand on the important issues in town.

This event is sponsored by the Camden Herald.
