Dredging Delay Decision Looms In Kennebunkport
An Army Corps official Col John H Mason said delaying the Kennebunk River dredging could be approved but funding is uncertain.

Local officials and federal reps weigh postponement against tourism, fishing, and marina interests amid a January hearing and appeals from Kennebunkport selectmen.
