Lamoine school project a concern
Bangor Daily News, January 12, 2006
(excerpt) Many of the more than 100 people who attended a public hearing Wednesday night expressed support for a proposed $3.4 million school renovation project.
Not everyone at the hearing in the Lamoine Consolidated School gym was enthusiastic about the proposal, however.
The impact on local property taxes and the possibility that future school consolidation could make an expanded school obsolete were among the concerns raised by some attendees.
But most of the applause Wednesday night followed comments urging residents to support the proposal when it goes before the voters on Tuesday, Jan. 23. Polls that day will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the town office on Route 184.
"Regardless of whether it’s 130 or 150 students, they deserve a better facility than what they have now," Stuart Branch said from the back of the school’s underused gym.
