There is a small section of the property that is technically in Portland. The original Dirigo plaza plans did require City of Portland Planning Board review and approval. The City got what they wanted out of those approvals with transportation improvements in Portland paid for by the developer. Since then the City of Portland Planning board has waived joint review requirements and let the City of Westbrook Planning Board approve any site plan amendments.Out of curiosity, is any of this project technically in Portland? Looking at some maps and it looks like Portland extends a bit over the turnpike into a bit of the quarry. For example, on the north side of Brighton Avenue the Motel 6 is in Portland (lucky us).
I went by there today .they were doing a lot of work.i got tickets for shinedown and Alice Cooper thereI am curious to see what the Rock Row temporary concert venue is going to look like. It appears that they have a lot of work to do before the first concert on May 26th. I am interested in a few of the concerts they have scheduled but at this time I won't purchase tickets until I see what the venue looks like (parking, seating, vendors, etc.).
I hope that they can build a permanent facility there faster than they have in Bangor.I went by there today .they were doing a lot of work.i got tickets for shinedown and Alice Cooper there
I think the renderings are a bit deceiving. If you watch the site walk video (link below) you can see the back of the venue is about 14' above the stage. Not a huge slope but not flat. There is only so much you can do to build up for a temporary venue. The renderings of the venue in its final position towards the southwest corner of the property once Phase 3 is built out show a much more pronounced bowl.I wonder why they have such a hard time building an actual bowl type concert venue in Maine? This place looks flat....just like Bangor.
I hope that you are right. I'll believe the "permanent" facility thing when I see it but I think that Rock Row has a better shot at building it than the Waterfront in Bangor does.I think the renderings are a bit deceiving.
