With the parking garage opening later this summer, the RFP has gone out to redevelop the primary City-owned downtown parking lots. https://www.westbrookmaine.com/bids.aspx?bidID=92

I once heard OOB called “The Canadian Jersey Shore” :ROFLMAO:

A few quick shots of the Vertical Harvest and garage development while driving by this morning.

I'm honestly surprised at how quickly they got to the steel. With the amount of pre-load they had on the site prior to constriction, I figured it was going to require a lot of additional piling and foundation work.

I heard through the grape vine that the building requires significant remediation (not sure of what) prior to the onset of renovations.

But he did use the tried and tested "shadows" argument 🤣

Get a load of this guy... https://www.pressherald.com/2023/03/09/maine-voices-speak-up-early-and-often-about-800-unit-bayside-development/

Teaching the arts requires dedicated classroom space, not venues. It's not entirely about the productions and performances. It's more about the process to get there. As such, existing spaces in the area are probably sufficient to support the productions and performances.

From what I read, there are plans to expand the runway in Nuuk, which would allow for larger planes and connecting flights to Norway and Denmark.

I totally meant to post this as a reply to tall building/NIMBY commentary in the 201 Federal thread. I guess that's what i get for trying to multi-task on a Friday. 🤣

If you follow any discussion on PPH article comment sections or social media surrounding development that is getting NIMBY blow-back, the NIMBYs almost always prickle at being called NIMBYs. They tend to then dig in further like ticks. As much as I agree with the terminology and have used it as...

Add this to the roughly 1,600 housing units proposed or under construction in Westbrook: https://www.pressherald.com/2023/02/01/500-unit-westbrook-apartment-project-on-drawing-board/ What are the chances Westbrook hits 30,000 people at the 2030 census? At this pace, it's a real possibility.

They actually have a fairly nice rink at the Gorham campus that opened in 1998. That rink also serves the youth programs for Gorham, Windham, etc. (https://www.maineevolution.com/).

Getting a little off topic, but a basketball-specific arena for the Maine Celtics, accompanied by an adjoining multi-use development, would fit nicely at the location of the Noyes Self Storage building in Bayside: Alas, people would absolutely lose their minds if you proposed tearing down the...

Ice time is already at a premium around here. We need three or four more rinks to keep up with demand and provide reasonable ice times for kids just learning the game, not fewer rinks. I'm OK with tearing down Troubh, as long as there is a replacement elsewhere in the city (ideally something...

As much as I agree on it being a great location, I honestly don't think it fits there. For arguments sake, here is the rough footprint of Fitzpatrick placed over this spot (using the same aspect ratio). You would have to fill in the red hashed section of Back Cove to fit it, and there would be...

They have plenty of space to build a dormitory on their property at the end of Bishop Street (the old Pike quarry and asphalt plant location). (I once thought that was a good spot for the soccer stadium, especially if they could somehow use the connecting rail lines to shuttle people to the...

As much as I would love to see more height in these buildings, I have to imagine the soils in Bayside would require extensive pilings like the Intermed building, which would increase costs and require a significantly higher percentage of market-rate vs. affordable units, thus making the...

I haven't found any, but there are a number of plans attached to the most recent meeting agenda packet. If you go to this page, click on " 2023.01.03 Planning Board (Hybrid)" and it will open a pop-up window that includes the meeting recording, with the agenda and agenda materials if you scroll...
