Ogunquit Town Financial Update - Spring 2025

Ogunquit's Town leadership provided a financial update on the Municipal Campus Project, which received community approval in June 2023 with an $11. 9 million budget. The project encompasses a new Police Station, Town Hall, and recreational facilities, including a playground and basketball court. However, cost estimates for renovating the Dunaway Center exceeded the $2. 3 million budget, necessitating a reassessment of financial allocations.

Town leadership presented a revised plan to the Select Board that preserves the campus vision while addressing financial challenges. The fundraising campaign for additional site improvements has also fallen short, complicating the project's progress. The commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and long-term planning remains central to the Town's approach. Community engagement continues to influence decision-making, fostering a resilient Ogunquit. The Town aims to deliver a vibrant campus that supports year-round community needs.
