In the mid 90's the town of Hermon, where I grew up, (by Bangor) built a new high school, with a 700 student capacity for $12.5 million, today the neighboring town of Hampden is building a new high school for $52 million.....with a estimated capacity of 800 students.....that means cost went up by almost 400% in 15 years
Reality is just the site work, and cleaning up the site will cost over $1 Million...he is also paying the cost of the demolition of the Mill from the fire 2 years ago...over $100,000..and the city is restricting uses on the property(so not a new McDonalds on Main st)...
Option B...Leave the site undeveloped and its current form for the next 50+ years....
If a deal doesn't happen and I lose WGME Channel 13 I expect a lower rate....fair is fair...right?? after all I saw my cable bill went up again last month for no reason...
Whats wrong with transferring ownership of the Great Falls School to Community Little or some other non profit group...then the city say DON'T ask us for taxpayer $$$ for this property anymore...this is now yours......
