Maine’s busiest lobster port plans for new public pier

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 2, 2026

Stonington plans to add access to its working waterfront from the site of a historic downtown building, a project years in the making. The town is looking for grant funding to stabilize the shoreline behind the Independent Order of Odd Fellows hall it purchased two summers ago and create a new pier and ramp for more float space. The project would provide room for additional dinghies next to its existing public fish pier and add resiliency to sea level rise.
