Welcome

Welcome to Stetson...

Welcome to Stetson, Maine! A small town with just over 1,000 residents, Stetson has always taken pride in its strong rural character. Located 17 miles west of Bangor, people originally came to settle here because of the scenic beauty, excellent farmland after it was cleared, and an abundance of lumber. Natural resources including forestland, abundant wildlife, wetlands, water resources and unique natural areas contribute greatly to the quality of life. At six miles square, Stetson continues to provide open space and recreational activities such as fishing, snowmobiling, hunting, canoeing, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. Pleasant Lake, located entirely within the town's borders, is a scenic 798 acre lake known for its excellent fishing and clean water. A scattering of camps and homes around its seven miles of shoreline have not detracted from its beauty or character. A second source of community pride is our historic Stetson Meetinghouse. Located in the center village, this beautiful building continues to serve as a gathering place for town meetings, public functions and community dinners.

While Bangor is the economic/employment center of the area, Stetson has taken on the identity of a bedroom - type community. Although experiencing moderate population growth, the town continues to maintain a rural, relaxed, yet active community atmosphere. Town government has always had the good fortune to have strong and conscientious leadership. Stetson has a history of fiscal responsibility, a relatively stable tax rate and maintains a capacity for growth. While welcoming such growth, Stetson continues to encourage safeguards and goals for protecting its natural resources and quality of life features well into the future.

SELECTBOARD NEWS

Greetings from your Board of Selectpersons.

We want to thank all of you for the honor of serving you and trying to do our best.

There has been a lot of good done for all of you this past year- like the Broadband - which will be
coming to the Town of Stetson very soon.

Our taxes weren’t overly what we thought we all expected. Money received by the town from the
state cut our mill rate otherwise they would have been very high, because of the elevations.

We have a new town clerk in the office, Mike Feole. According to the reviews we have heard, he has been doing a great job and he is very personable.

We also received a check from the state for COVID and it is only to be used for what was affected
during COVID. It can be used by Parks and Rec for new bleachers, etc., and for repair of a wall at
the Meeting House that was damaged by water, etc.

We all wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

From your Selectboard Members
