KENNEBUNK — Voters will be deciding in the coming months whether they will support $74.8 million in improvements to Kennebunk High School, Mildred L. Day School, and Kennebunkport Consolidated School.
The renovations are proposed at $53.55 million for KHS, $11.32 million for Mildred L. Day School, and $9.96 million for Kennebunkport Consolidated School. A proposed plan for the Southern Maine Center for the Visual and Performing Arts is moving forward separately and is proposed to be funded privately, with a goal of raising $20 million. If fundraising is successful, it would reduce the overall cost of the KHS renovation to $48.3 million.
The annual impact of the $74 million
renovations, in the highest year to be paid of the 20-year bond and
based on $300,000 of assessed property value, would be $486.90 for an
Arundel resident, $498.84 for a Kennebunk resident, and $438.09 for a
Kennebunkport resident. That breaks down monthly to $41.57 in Kennebunk,
$36.51 in Kennebunkport, and $40.58 in Arundel.
