Search All Alfred Maine Homes For Sale and Community Information

Alfred is fortunate to still have many links with its past that provide continuity and perspective. Perhaps the town's greatest inherited asset is an attractive village center that still serves as a focal point for town activities and commerce. Many Maine communities lost their village areas during the 20th century, and now are hoping to reestablish some sort of town center. Alfred village both helps to define the town and to provide a planning model on which to build for the future.

Alfred's Town Meeting form of government is basically the same as it was two and half centuries ago. Three selectmen and volunteers who staff town programs direct municipal operations. Major services provided by the town are education, road maintenance, fire and rescue services and solid waste disposal. The town also supports recreational programs, social services, and cultural activities such as summer band concerts.

Major facilities are the town offices, the Alfred Elementary School (owned by S.A.D 57), Troup A State Police facility, the transfer station, the public library, the fire and rescue station, all of which are located in or near the center village. Major county facilities -- the courthouse, jail and shelter -- are also located in or near the village area, as is the Federal Post Office.

Alfred's character is that of a pleasant and attractive small town with a great deal of community spirit and pride. Properties in the village and throughout the rest of town are generally well maintained. Local organizations such as the American Legion and Lions Club are active in sponsoring community events and providing charitable services. There is an Alfred Summer Festival with a parade and a variety of activities. Most major holidays are commemorated with special events.
