What’s Next?

In November 2024, the Town voters approved a $8.5 million bond for the construction of a new Municipal Complex that would house the Town Office, Police Station, and Fire Station.  An additional $4 million is needed to proceed with construction of the project as proposed.

So, what is next?  The need for improved facilities has not gone away.  Understanding that grant funding is getting increasingly difficult to secure, and understanding concerns about escalating costs for taxpayer, the Select Board and Building Committee have decided to seek the potential cost savings and feasibility of utilizing another property. This property is on Bridgton Rd and is the site of the former Fryeburg Family Medicine.

Port City Architecture is completing a feasibility study to see if renovating/repurposing the existing building and adding on would be practical and result in cost savings. The goal would be to maintain the “Municipal Complex” concept, with all 3 department located on that property.

As we learn more about this potential path forward and have more definitive information to share, we will do so.
