Rudi Graf of Isle au Haut, Doug Boynton of Monhegan, and Terry Kelley of MDI and Ellsworth Housing Authority (along with Nancy Wuori of Islesboro not pictured) spoke to a group of about 100 residents of Maine islands and interested others at the first Island Affordable Housing Symposium. They shared their experiences in developing affordable housing on their respective islands.
The event was held at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast on Friday and Saturday April 28 and 29. Friday evening's keynote was by John Abrams, a builder/author from Martha's Vineyard, who shared his community's experience in "People Preservation: The Local Approach to Community Housing."
