Portland Stage, a fixture in Portland’s arts district for nearly 40 years, issued a statement Monday saying it supports the city’s decision to consolidate its public health and social services programs in a single building at 39 Forest Ave.
But the city’s decision has led the Maine College of Art to evaluate its plans to locate a student residence hall next door. MECA raised concerns about student safety after learning of the city’s plan.
