FALMOUTH — Town officials are making progress in reviewing multiple proposals to reuse or redevelop the former Plummer-Motz and Lunt school properties.

Town Manager Nathan Poore had planned to make an announcement about the proposals this morning, if the Town Council gave him the OK during an executive session on Monday night.

The announcement has been postponed to Jan. 17, according to Theo Holtwijk, Falmouth’s long-range planning director.

The council asked town staff to work out several details that require consultation with the town’s attorney, Holtwijk said in an email to the Portland Press Herald.

The council plans to hold a public hearing on Jan. 23 on the pending disposition of the 20-acre school complex on Lunt Road, Holtwijk said.

The town likely received at least two proposals in November, though town officials have discussed none of them publicly. One was expected from OceanView at Falmouth, the 60-acre retirement community next to the school complex.

Redfern North Atlantic, a group of local development and design professionals, also submitted a proposal to redevelop the complex into a variety of residential, commercial, community and school uses.
