Dave Edson

Success to-date with ANP Seasonal Housing

AND Broad Community Challenges Lie Ahead



Seasonal Housing on MDI is a challenge that many organizations (non-profit & for-profit) have addressed. Success is measured in single numbers and meaningful efforts continue. Dave Edson will summarize specific ANP projects and describe the larger MDI-wide challenges. He will discuss the demographic and economic challenges that continue to mound for island communities.

Retired for 8 years after a career in natural resources, Dave and his wife Susan moved to Bernard in 2014, having owned property there since 1999. They enjoy their proximity to Acadia National Park and are active in several volunteer capacities in Tremont and across MDI. Most especially they are part of a volunteer effort to give non-ambulatory people rides on Acadia’s Carriage Roads (MDI Wheelers https://www.mdiwheelers.org/).

As a Board Member for Friends of Acadia (FOA), he has been part of their effort to address housing shortages for Acadia National Park, FOA and other affiliated organizations.

*ASC Weather Cancellation Policy

Acadia Senior College cancels events and classes when the MDI schools close for snow or weather events. When a delay occurs, ASC also cancels events or classes that start within the delay period.

If there is a two-hour school delay, ASC morning classes will be canceled, but afternoon classes may still be held unless otherwise instructed. (Some in-person classes may elect to hold a canceled class by Zoom.) We will also post a cancellation notice on our website and attempt to email students and event attendees when possible.

Check News Center Maine or WABI for school closing information. Look for AOS 91.
