ROCKLAND Two weeks after many residents became aware of a partial land sale of the former MBNA property in Rockland, the City has begun its own clearing of the bushes that once separated the harbor from the parking lot and street above.
Tenants of the 12 Water Street property, under the ownership of Stuart Smith, of Camden, have been Archers on the Pier restaurant, the Pen Bay YMCA as a branch location, and a branch location of Yachting Solutions. Years ago, Smith also created an easement for the Boardwalk section of the Harbor Trail, which runs along the ocean side of the property.
