Biddeford has been awarded a $1.2 million federal grant for road improvements around a 650-space city parking garage and adjacent private redevelopment in the mill district.
The funding is part of a U.S. Economic Development Administration effort to support work that is expected to lead to 645 jobs and generate $170 million in private investment, a news release said Friday.
The city broke ground on the garage at 3 Lincoln St. in August. The garage is on the former Maine Energy Recovery Corp. site that will be developed into a 300,000-square-foot mixed-use complex planned by developers Jim Brady and Brian Eng, and is adjacent to 240,000-square-foot Lincoln Mill, being redeveloped by Tim Harrington and Chinburg Properties.
