Holbrook Wharf, Harpswell

The Holbrook Community Foundation, a newly incorporated 501(c) 3 community non-profit organization), organized to “Keep Holbrook’s Working” as an integral part of the working waterfront in Cundy’s Harbor in the town of Harpswell (Cumberland County). The Holbrook waterfront is a 0.77-acre, mixed use property that includes a commercial fishing wharf, a snack bar, a historic house with two apartments, a general store and a second dock with floats for recreational boating access and two moorings. In recent years the property has suffered from neglect and the Holbrook Community Foundation is charged with breathing new life into the facility. The Foundation successfully leveraged significant investment for the property and has created great potential to provide berthing, landing and mooring needs for up to 10 commercial fishermen who catch lobsters, crabs, shellfish and tuna. The Holbrook Community Foundation was granted an allocation of $300,000.00 from the Land for Maine’s Future Board to purchase a covenant on their property.
