BERWICK, Maine – Town Manager Stephen Eldridge doesn t hold back his excitement when describing the planned redevelopment of the former Prime Tanning site by Great Falls Construction.
It is being called The Edge at Berwick and it promises the creation of a new village center, with shops, restaurants and residential spaces, transforming an abandoned site into a jewel for the town. This is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Maine community to build its own downtown, said Eldridge. I have lived in Maine my whole life, been in this business for 25 years, and I have never seen anything like this.
Eldridge said he came to town years ago after researching the town and learning about the envision committee, which he said had great ideas about Berwick and he wanted to be involved.
