Possibilities
The town currently has a mixed use zone from
the Rte 1 mall area to the York town line where
little permitted growth has occurred in its 20
year existence. Should this zone be restructured
to enable a designed growth pattern such as a
mixed village cluster?
To create a business/jobs growth incentive, would
you support the town implementing a State program
that allows the creation of Development Districts
using tax increment financing (tax revenues
from the District) to fund growth related public
improvements while sheltering said increases from
reductions of state revenue sharing aid for
education, and lessening the county tax?
Should the town create Historic Preservation
Districts including Kittery Foreside/Wallingford
Square and Kittery Point Village and establish
zoning requirements to preserve their current
New England character?
