The Raymond Board of Selectmen voted to unanimously to approve making all of the following properties "Drug Free Zones" pursuant to Title 30-A §3253 – A municipality may designate an area of the municipality that is frequented by minors as a safe zone (as defined under Title 17-A §1101(23) to be an athletic field, park, playground, or recreational facility):

  • Crescent Beach – Webbs Mills Rd.
  • Raymond Beach – Roosevelt Trail (owned by the State of Maine)
  • Tassel Top Park – Roosevelt Trail (owned by the State of Maine)
  • Sheri Gagnon Memorial Park – Mill St.
  • Raymond Elementary School – Webbs Mills Rd. (owned by RSU #14)
  • Jordan Small Middle School – Webbs Mills Rd. (owned by RSU #14)
  • Morgan Meadows – Egypt Road and North Raymond Roads
  • Patricia Avenue Parcel – Roosevelt Trail
  • Farwell Drive Parcel – Egypt Road

 

This allows law enforcement to double the fines/penalties of any drug related activity within these areas.
