GARDINER In a move that is likely to change the face of downtown Gardiner, Camden National Bank has donated a historic block of buildings to Gardiner Main Street for redevelopment.
The block, 149-167 Water St., consists of five brick buildings that make up about 23,000 square feet of space and have a view of the Kennebec River from their rear windows.
