A federal court will not stop enforcement of Bar Harbor's cruise ship passenger limit while town businesses appeal a lawsuit over the issue.
The Association to Preserve and Protect Local Livelihoods had asked the court to prevent the town from enforcing the 1,000-person daily cap for cruise ship visitors.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals denied the motion without prejudice, which means businesses can request an injunction again at a later time.
Bar Harbor will hold a public hearing on the cruise ship ordinance on June 18.
