FAYETTE – Voters will be asked Tuesday if they want to approve a plan to form a regional school system consisting of the towns of Fayette, Manchester, Mount Vernon, Readfield, Wayne, Winthrop and Community School District 10.
Fayette voters will also consider authorizing selectmen to sell the old fire station.
Selectmen have yet to decide if they want to sell the station, Town Manager Mark Robinson said. The question asks voters to give selectmen the authority to sell because they do not have that authority presently, he said.
The third question voters face asks if they want to provide winter maintenance for a portion of the discontinued Young Road.
The section in question leads from town-maintained Oak Hill Road a distance of five-tenths of a mile and ends at the home of Timothy Pepper at 246 Young Road, Robinson said.
The issue was put to voters after a resident asked selectmen to address his concern that the school bus cannot pick up his child where he lives on Young Road, Robinson said.
The road was discontinued in 1945, but with a public easement retained, he said.
The referendum vote in Fayette is from 4 to 8 p.m. Jan. 27 at Starling Hall. Absentee ballots are available now.
