"Remove Existing Structure and construct parking lot." Blahhh not what we need here

Maybe not - the article pegs the revenue change on declining rates, which have been elevated for many global reasons. Doesn't say anything about a volume change.

Does anyone know the extent to which this development has plans to prevent flooding? I haven't listened to all the meetings, but I don't recall hearing much/any discussion about it. As it stands in 2024, storm surge - particular with the astronomical high tide - easily makes it to the path, even...

PHDC is proposing to demolish these four buildings and build a new 50-unit - I think there is a recent Press Herald article about rampant mold issues in them, so this is definitely a good thing.

What exactly is the reconstruction of taxiway A? Is it just a resurfacing or do they take it down to earth?

On some of the renderings it looks like there is a dock connected to the end of the pier. I don't remember seeing this discussed/written anywhere, so maybe it's future expansion?

Plan Number: PL-002836-2024 To accommodate use from a Minor League Soccer team coming to Maine, the project proposes to construct two (2) locker rooms and relocation/addition of three (3) storage containers, along with associated utility updates. Some progress

Not sure of the exact lot boundaries, but here's roughly where the proposed buildings would be - the Daymark is on the right, I've outlined the 89 Elm St development in blue. I'm wondering if the 197 Oxford building would take the garden too - doesn't seem like you could fit 52 units in 5 floors...

I can't imagine the full council says yes. I just hope that this doesn't completely kill the project and if it doesn't - and they seriously consider the Spring St lot - that they aren't afraid to radically change the design. I'd just hate for it to look awkward, sticking a building designed to...

I know you mentioned drive-ability earlier, but depending on what direction the redesign heads it could be 5 lanes (see 2015 study) - not a change. Even if that doesn't happen and it drops to 3 lanes, I think it's plausible that downtown traffic naturally starts to more frequently use High St...

"Councilor Mike Michaud said it is nearly impossible to measure the economic impact the building has had on Augusta when hosting events..." Is there actually any hard data on the economic impact? Without it, hard to make a case for a new building. Also hard to make a case for a new building if...

I feel the same about The Casco - can't wait to see what the next project is.

The Williston addition:

Looks like work has started on this - they've fenced in part of the parking lot in the rear and plenty of trades vans around. I really think this project and the new park across the street will be a great transition from the Old Port to the New Port.
