BANGOR, Maine
As Maine readies for spring, communities are also bracing for another tourism season.
In Bangor, tourists have booked short-term rentals through Airbnb or other travel sites for years, but technically that form of rental is not allowed.
“There are people that are renting this way, Bangor Community and Economic Development Director Tanya Emery said. We know that. We are aware of that.
Bangor Planning Officer Anne Krieg said there are roughly 100 short-term rentals in the city, many of them Airbnb properties.
