Voters to Decide on $500,000 Land Purchase for School District
What happened
Voters in Turner, Greene, and Leeds will vote on October 6 regarding the purchase of 18.8 acres on Cobb Road for $500,000 for Maine School Administrative District 52. If approved, the district plans to install new diesel fuel tanks, build a small transportation facility, and add athletic fields. The district has an option to buy the land from the Ralph Caldwell Living Trust until December 31.

Why it matters
The purchase aims to address infrastructure needs for Leavitt Area High School, including relocating diesel fuel tanks that currently violate Maine Department of Environmental Protection requirements. The district also plans to add gas tanks to save money, as it currently purchases gas off-site.
