Cast your vote on Sangerville Town Hall
In the summer and fall of 2022, the Sangerville Town Hall faced a significant setback when the Maine Municipal Association canceled its property coverage due to necessary repairs. Consequently, the select board closed the town hall and relocated the town office to a rental costing $1,300 a month. This abrupt change caught residents off guard, especially during the fall elections when voters found the town hall closed and had to resort to casting their votes at Grace Bible Church. Many expressed concerns about the inconvenience, and for their town hall — long on the National Historic Register — to be unheated for the winter.
