The Active Living Committee serves as a resource to the Town of Freeport citizens for initiatives outlined in the Active Living Plan. The Active Living Plan provides a roadmap for achieving a wide variety of interrelated community goals through active living. The Active Living Plan seeks to increase quality of life for all Freeport residents and strives to make sure active living choices are the easiest, safest, and most attractive choices for citizens young and old. The Plan includes short-term, inexpensive measures as well as select long-term catalytic projects that may be supplemented by a variety of policy changes that will provide more opportunities for physical activity. Meets the third Thursday of the month at 7:30AM in the Town Council Chambers.
The Shellfish Commission administers the Freeport Shellfish Conservation Program for the Town. Duties include maintaining current information on shellfish resources, managing the number of shellfish digging licenses, recommending conservation closures and openings with area biologists, recommending long-term management goals, identifying conservation projects for renewal of commercial licenses, and identifying and addressing water quality issues. The Shellfish Commission typically meets on the second Thursday of the month at 6:30PM in the Town Council Chambers.
