Watt Samaki Temple, now in Buxton, and Khmer Maine are partnering on a two-phase project that includes a cultural center, monks' residence, traditional temple and worship hall.

The goal is to build a cultural and community center and a traditional Cambodian Buddhist temple on 30 acres of land in Westbrook, to replace a smaller one in Buxton.

Westbrook will soon be home to a Cambodian Buddhist temple. Watt Samaki Temple, based out of Buxton, announced a fundraising campaign Thursday to develop 30 acres of land it recently acquired in Westbrook.
