KENNEBUNK — Residents of
RSU 21 took in a $51.4 million plan to renovate three school facilities, some
questioning whether the work is in the best interest of those facilities and
taxpayers, others supporting the need during a hearing held Tuesday, Oct. 25.
The hearing was the
first in a series of three planned on the RSU 21 Master Facilities Plan, and
was held at Kennebunk High School. Approximately 75 community members attended.
Under the plan,
Kennebunk High School would undergo a $43.5 million renovation, while
Kennebunkport Consolidated School would see work to the tune of $4.2 million and
Mildred L. Day School would face renovations totalling $3.7 million.
The impact of the
projects on the local taxpayer is estimated at $175 for Arundel residents, $74
for those in Kennebunkport and $134 for those in Kennebunk. These numbers show
the impact for the second year of the $51.4 million bond, with the impact
decreasing slightly each year after. The bond would be paid off in 20 years.
