Dear Neighbor,
As Edgecomb residents, we must come together to save Edgecomb Eddy School and control property taxes. Learn the facts and critical issues of how increased town budgets, skyrocketing taxes and mismanagement are negatively affecting our town’s future and your pocketbook.
The proposed school budget of $4,539,384 contains a demand for a 17.4% increase in net tax support, with no change in enrollment of 77 resident students and declining test scores. It is unrealistic that a town of about 550 taxpaying households can continue to fund double-digit increases. If this continues, our town cannot sustain a school. We cannot lose this critical asset for our community.
Taxes in Edgecomb are among the highest in Maine. The jolt of a 32% tax increase in 2024 was among the highest in the nation. Taxes rose yet again in 2025. This impacts all residents especially seniors on fixed incomes and working families.
New and responsible town and school leadership can find solutions to these issues.
