This referendum asks Windham voters whether to authorize the issuance of up to $19.5 million in bonds to convert the current Windham Middle School building into a multi-use Community Center, and to appropriate up to $2 million from the Town’s fund balance to reduce the amount that must be borrowed.

​

The project would relocate the Parks and Recreation Department, an expanded library, Town Hall offices, and social services into the former middle school once it becomes available (expected mid-to-late 2027 after the new Windham-Raymond Middle School opens). Planned amenities include a playground, outdoor reading area, walking path, pickleball court, and potentially a pool.

​

A special Council meeting on August 19, 2026 is scheduled to formally approve the warrant article, which will include a fiscal note.
