Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.
- Serious: Only for property owners. This is a lease of building space, so only owners or their authorized agents with space in Kennebunkport can respond.
- Worth checking: Space type unclear: office or warehouse. The title says office space and the Government now occupies office space, but the requirements list the space type as warehouse.
- Worth checking: Current tenant may stay. The Government already leases space in Kennebunkport and will count moving costs against new offers, which favors the current building.

- Minor: Section 889 telecom ban. Owners should check that building telecom equipment does not include banned Chinese-made equipment under Section 889 of the 2019 defense act.
