HALLOWELL Respondents to a survey say they would like a park to take over a parking lot in downtown Hallowell, though some are still concerned about parking.
The results of the study, which was provided directly to some Hallowell organizations as well as advertised at the park, were presented to the City Council at Tuesday’s meeting by representatives from Vision Hallowell, a nonprofit that promotes the city’s downtown which is spearheading the project.
