COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION - MOUNT DESERT 365 (THE CORPORATION) ENGAGES IN ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION THAT IS GUIDED BY THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S TOP THREE GOALS. THE OVERALL GOAL IS TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE LIVING AND/OR WORKING IN THE TOWN ON A YEAR-ROUND BASIS. WE TAKE A MULTIPRONG APPROACH TOWARD THAT GOAL WITH FOCUSES ON HOUSING, BUSINESS AND NONPROFIT SUPPORT, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. IN 2025, OUR MAJOR EFFORT WAS ON CREATING AND MAINTAINING YEAR-ROUND HOUSING. WE DESIGNED AND STARTED THE CONSTRUCTION AND SITEWORK FOR TWO HOMES THAT WILL BE SOLD IN 2026 TO YEAR-ROUND RESIDENTS IN PERPETUITY. WE ALSO HAD ANOTHER SIX HOME DEVELOPMENT ACHIEVE FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE LOCAL PLANNING BOARD AFTER A TWO YEAR APPEAL PROCESS, SO NOW DEVELOPMENT WORK CAN BEGIN. THROUGHOUT 2025, WE MAINTAINED THREE APARTMENTS LEASED OUT TO YEAR-ROUND RESIDENTS AT AFFORDABLE RENTAL RATES. IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL BUSINESSES, WE LEASED THREE COMMERCIAL SPACES AT AFFORDABLE RATES, PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES, AND HELPED CREATE REASONS FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, CREATING FOOT TRAFFIC FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. MANY OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES WERE DEVELOPED IN COORDINATION WITH OTHER NONPROFITS BY PROVIDING FREE MEETING SPACE FOR THEIR EVENTS, MEETINGS, CLASSES OR DEVELOPING RECREATIONAL SPACES OVER THE WINTER. THESE EFFORTS ATTRACTED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FROM A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE WHO WOULD NOT OTHERWISE TRAVEL HERE. THROUGHOUT 2025, WE ALSO LEASED LAND TO COLLEGE OF THE ATLANTIC, WHERE THEY HOUSED STUDENTS AND STAFF, AND ANOTHER LOT WAS LEASED TO A YEAR-ROUND FAMILY IN A SHARED-EQUITY HOUSING MODEL,KEEPING THAT HOME AFFORDABLE TO THE HOMEOWNERS. THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED REVENUE FROM THE RENTAL PRPOERTIES THAT OFFSETS, BUT DOES NOT FULLY COVER, THE COSTS OF PROPERTY TAXES, INSURANCE, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE.
