Damariscotta has voted to support Lincoln Academy's Capital Campaign, making it the fourth town to endorse the school's ambitious building project. Others are Bristol, South Bristol and Bremen. Edgecomb at last count had six young people enrolled in L.A. This gives us a stake in the Academy's future. The capital campaign is on-going for five years. It is hoped that towns which have not yet supported the campaign will jump on the bandwagon.
