Just wondering – several years ago, our family purchased 10 acres of prime Cumberland land, close to the town center for a little over $100,000. Now SAD 51 wants to purchase two acres for $756,000. Have Cumberland land values increased by that much? Are there any other buyers willing to pay $756,000 for these two acres or is SAD 51 the only one? We have town-owned Twin Brooks, which consists of many acres. Why couldn’t SAD 51 use that property to take care of some or all of their needs? Do we really need that many soccer fields?
