Are the towns of Regional School Unit 21 made of money? The facilities committee of the RSU 21 school board seems to think so.
Last Wednesday, what began as discussions for the repurposing of the former Garden Street Market building somehow grew into a plan to build an entirely new, freestanding arts center on the campus of Kennebunk High School.
Selectmen had originally gathered to consider the option of repurposing the former grocery store, which is in a key downtown location, as a performing arts center. Talks with the RSU were necessitated because a renovated auditorium at KHS is part of the district’s $51.4 million improvement plan, which is expected to go to voters in November.
The thought was that a renovated market building could take the place of a new auditorium at the high school and be more accessible for public use as well as school use. But the facilities committee likes to think big, so they presented their “dream” plan to the selectmen last week.
