Rangeley to purchase .35-acre property despite environmental concerns

RANGELEY HIGHLANDER • November 25, 2025

The Rangeley Board of Selectmen is moving forward with purchasing a parcel of property that could have a potential environmental issue due to a spill from a turned over oil tank on the property in 2023. The board voted 4-1 Monday after residents Nov. 5 voted in favor, 309-186, of acquiring the .35-acre property at 50 Pleasant St. for $99,500. The property is next to the Town Office and Rangeley Fire Rescue parcel, and abuts the town lot at 3 School St. If the property is not able to be built on, then it could be used as a green space or parking lot.
