We thought at this juncture it would be interesting to examine the document that memorializes the exchange between Bowdoin College and the town for the two subject buildings.
We have obtained the document, and are posting it for your reading pleasure. We had not realized that it included the College Street improvement project, and some parking considerations as well. It is dated October 2011.
The document can be accessed here.
It clearly states that the buildings are exchanged in ‘as is’ condition. We’ll look to our more expert readers to study the document and point out any items of significant public interest.
We don’t have any archived materials to indicate what ‘as is’ represented over two years ago, but as the photo below shows, ‘as is’ at the moment is pretty deplorable. It seems to us from the agreement that the past 28 months of inattention and further decay and deterioration are ‘on the town.’
You can take ‘on the town’ any way you please. You can even substitute a specific name or two for ‘the town.’
