Board to take up $74 million facilities plan


KENNEBUNK — Renovations to Kennebunk High School, Mildred L. Day School and Kennebunkport Consolidated School are moving on to the RSU 21 Board of Directors, proposed to cost a total of $74 million for the three schools.

The Facilities Committee voted on Sept. 13 to pass the three projects on to the Board of Directors for review. The board held a first reading of the projects earlier this week and a public forum will be held on Monday, Oct. 7 in the KHS auditorium. The projects could go before voters for approval in January.

"We've reached the point where these are exactly what we need. We've done the hard work of squeezing these down. I'm satisfied that we've done the best job that we can to put the school facilities in the best condition that this community needs and deserves," said Tim Hussey, chairman of the Facilities Committee.

Estelle Wellman told the committee that the price tag is going to be a hard sell for some voters.
