Here we go again (Maine Voices in today's PPH). Another provincial minded Mainer warning about how Roux will ruin life in Portland. To paraphrase, as one comment suggests, if it does offer upscale housing, hotels, restaurants, bars, why would others, or non-students, want to stay, live or come here? It's off peninsula and next to busy 295. It's disguised xenophobia. Fear of change. Fear of progress. Roux is simply providing a better environment for its students, of whom are older (over 21). I still don't like this location. They should have built some hi-rises in Bayside. Somehow. Why are we fighting over a school that will help Maine FAR more than hurt it?
Maine Voices: Roux campus risks being a Trojan horse for development
Northeastern University’s Roux Institute needs a permanent home in Portland. Does it need an adjacent hotel, stores, bars and restaurants? I’d argue no.
