GREAT GRANTS
The Highland Farm preservation effort and a working waterfront access plan are now much closer to coming to fruition, thanks to two state grants announced July 8.

THE NEXT STEP
Members of York's Think Again met recently with a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers to discuss the Maine Turnpike Authority's efforts to construct a new toll plaza in town.

PICTURE PERFECT
This edition's installment of York Corner offers a look back in time at just a few of the places in York Village, York Beach, York Harbor and Cape Neddick that inspired the postcards of the past.
