For the second year in a row, voters in Kennebunkport rejected a proposal to construct a new town hall, defeating the $8.3 million bond question during the November 4 election.
The rejected plan would have funded the construction of a new facility to replace the existing municipal offices, but town voters once again opted against committing to the project.
Last year, residents turned down a similar measure an $8.8 million proposal for a new town hall, which had led the town to rethink its approach. If Tuesday’s result was any indication, a half-million dollar haircut wasn’t enough.
Now the town faces renewed questions about how to move forward with municipal facilities needs and whether to bring another proposal back to voters in the future.
