KENNEBUNK, Maine – The select board has authorized town administrators and officials to meet with representatives of the Kennebunk Light and Power District to resolve what Chair Blake Baldwin described as an impasse regarding streetlights.
At issue is the town’s LED lighting project and its recent discovery that KLPD – not the town – owns the 800-plus streetlights that would be involved. Central Maine Power owns the other streetlights in the community.
Town Manager Michael Pardue said Tuesday that he had contacted KLPD Director Todd Shea about organizing a discussion and coordinating schedules.
“I view this as a partnership and am confident that upcoming discussions will prove fruitful,” Pardue said.

KENNEBUNK, Maine – With a pandemic that raged through 2020, Community Outreach Services found itself busier than ever this year.
How much so? The organization – which assists people in Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel with food, fuel and other essentials – outgrew its headquarters at St. Martha’s Church on Portland Road and needed a new home in order to fulfill its mission.
“When the pandemic first hit, I think the first challenge was making sure we had a space that was big enough and strong enough to provide to our community in a time of rapid growing need,” Michelle Allen, the organization’s development director, said during a recent interview.
