An Island Fellow with Islesboro Affordable Properties from 2004 to 2006, Alyson Mayo has returned to the Island Institute as the Great Cranberry Revitalization Project Coordinator.  Alyson is living and working on Great Cranberry Island and heading a special project that assists community-members with a major revitalization effort incorporating affordable housing, economic and community development, and other initiatives.
