Kennebunkport Tax Break Plan Dead in Town
In Kennebunkport a proposed senior citizen property tax break was declared dead by Selectman Abbott Pendergast. The idea, previously set for a referendum, was halted as legal steps expired. The board rescinded its earlier vote and discussed adding the measure to next spring’s town meeting warrant, but no seconded motion followed. The plan faced state objections as potentially granting abatements only to some property owners.
