St. George and South Thomaston are unique in their decision to face coastal challenges together. Both towns know the realities of rising seas, powerful storms, and the demands of sustaining working waterfronts. By forming a collaborative resilience committee, they are taking an innovative step: planning not just as neighbors, but as partners.

This joint effort recognizes that weather, water, and livelihoods don’t stop at town lines. Through shared knowledge, combined resources, and a united voice, the two communities are creating a stronger, more comprehensive plan than either could achieve alone. Their collaboration is a model of coastal innovation — proving that when towns work together, they build not only resilience, but lasting connections for the future.
