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.
