Community Awareness Day


Sagadahoc County Community Navigator

Sagadahoc County has recently hired a Community Navigator, Mark Hymbaugh, to help county residents in need find resources, including food, clothing, housing, shelter, recovery support, childcare, heat assistance, transportation, home repairs and more. The County does not have resources to give themselves, rather their goal is to assist, guide and connect people to the right resources/organizations, so to empower folks to be self-sustaining.  You can call Mark at 207-449-0185 or email him at mhymbaugh@sagadahoccountyme.gov if you need assistance in finding resources. 

Mark says, “Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone!”  Click here to see their info (which includes a link to their flyer) on the Arrowsic town website’s Community Resources page.

Beginning Monday, September 22nd, our assessing agents will be in Town to
begin the revaluation process that was approved at Town meeting this past June.

A few things to know about the assessors and how it impacts you:

• There will be 4 of them and they work separately. They will be in business casual attire, no jeans or shorts. Their vehicles will have a magnet stating Parker Appraisal Services
• They will knock at your door to let you know they are on your property but do not need to gain access to the inside of your house
• Their vehicle descriptions are two white Subaru Outbacks, a Blue Hyundai Santa Fe SUV, and a tan Jeep SUV

Attached are photos of the assessors with the vehicle descriptions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office (207) 443-4609 or email
