Maine Bill Proposes 3% Hotel Tax to Fund School Construction To address rising education costs and school funding disparities, Rep. Michael Brennan, D-Portland, has introduced a bill proposing a 3% sales tax on hotel and lodging rentals, expected to generate $60 million annually for school construction and K-12 education. This move coincides with an upcoming March legislative report evaluating Maine’s 20-year-old school funding formula, which many argue unfairly burdens communities with high property values but low incomes. The current formula, which funds 55% of essential education services statewide, allocates aid based on property values and other local metrics, creating disparities across districts. Brennan’s bill aims to ease reliance on property taxes while potentially reshaping Maine’s public education funding model. However, concerns about the tax’s impact on the tourism sector are likely to fuel debate as lawmakers consider significant reforms. read more: https://lnkd.in/g-VtMVYF #Maine #constructionindustry

Factory-Built Homes: A Key to Solving Vermont’s Housing Crisis? As Vermont faces a severe housing shortage, modular construction is emerging as a potential solution. At Huntington Homes in East Montpelier, houses are built like “Lego blocks” in a factory setting, reducing build time to just 96 hours per home. This streamlined approach enables year-round production, lowers costs, and addresses labor shortages by offering less physically demanding jobs. With only 2,000 homes built statewide last year—far below what experts say is needed—factory-built housing could help close the gap. However, challenges remain. The upfront investment to establish factories makes them vulnerable to economic downturns, as seen with the 2011 closure of Vermont’s Fair Haven plant. To mitigate risks, a state-commissioned report suggests bulk purchase agreements and possibly reopening defunct factories. Developers like Summit Properties USA are already benefiting, saving up to 10% on construction costs through modular methods. By balancing risks and investments, Vermont could leverage modular housing to quickly and affordably increase its housing supply, offering a pathway to a more stable market. read more: https://lnkd.in/gytK7WQw #constructionindustry #ConstructionInnovation #HousingForAll
