The Select Board voted on November 6, 2023, to offer to purchase from George Stevens Academy approximately 38.5 acres of land underlying and adjacent to the Town’s Blue Hill Consolidated School. This offer, if accepted, would allow the Town to fully control its BHCS property and would make additional acreage available for recreation, expansion, or other Town needs. Having received an appraisal of the property, the Select Board voted to offer 100% of the appraised value, or $95,000, subject to customary terms and conditions, including the affirmative vote of the Town.
The full offer letter, which describes the property and notes some of the relevant valuation considerations, can be found here.
