Editor,
Kennebunk is blessed with fascinating historical sites and beautiful open lands. In the downtown area we have both together in the historic Hope Cemetery and 72-acre Hope Woods.
To enable the cemetery to remain financially viable and to forever preserve Hope Woods for public use, a very creative partnership has been created, involving the cemetery, the Kennebunk Land Trust, the private sector and, hopefully the Town of Kennebunk.
As a resident of Kennebunk, I applaud this innovative collaboration and hope our community will approve on Nov. 6 the Referendum allowing a $100,000 contribution from the Town to help leverage the additional resources required to complete this exciting project.
A Win-Win project for all of us.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
