Code Enforcement report for 2017. It has been a pleasure working for the Town of Mechanic Falls. I have found that the staff and the community volunteers have a special kind of commitment for the Town of Mechanic Falls. I also would like to compliment the Fire Department, Highway Department, Police Department, Water and Sanitary Departments for their hard work that makes Mechanic Falls a special kind of place and all should feel at peace knowing they are here to serve you. I would like to report that there has been positive growth including several new homes and garages, as well as several small businesses including commercial buildings, and a new Hannaford Supermarket that includes a pharmacy located at five corners and will have positive impact for the community for many years to come. I would like to remind all homeowners to install reflective house numbers of a minimum of 4” inches within 50’ (fifty) feet from roadway for the safety of you and your children in case of any emergency. Please contact my office with any questions or concerns. Respectfully, Code Enforcement report for 2017. It has been a pleasure working for the Town of Mechanic Falls.
