PERU — Town Clerk Deb Coudrain told the Select Board at the March 17 meeting that to date, no one has “taken out (nomination) papers for anything.”
Nomination papers are available at the Town Office for one three-year term on the Select Board, one two-year term on the RSU 56 board of directors, and one three-year term on the RSU 56 board. Papers are due back to the Town Office by 5 p.m. April 11 to be included on the June 10 ballot.
In other business, select board members discussed a revaluation timeline following a correspondence from Assessor Steven Salley. He wanted to delay the revaluation by a year. The board noted that the process, which hasn’t gotten underway, is already two years behind schedule. The revaluation deadline had been set for July 1, 2026.
The Select Board and Finance Committee met March 24 to continue work on the FY 25-26 town budget. The next regular Select Board meeting is 6 p.m. Monday at the Town Office.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
