A $425,000 skatepark appears likely to become a reality at a yet to be determined location in Gorham.
The Town Council Tuesday 7-0 gave approval for town staff to work out details with a residents’ group spearheaded by Tom Dupuis. The group will report back to the council before permitting and construction.
“I totally support this, it’s long overdue,” Town Councilor Ron Shepard said.
“It has the foundation of going forward,” Town Councilor James Hager said.
The concrete skatepark would be used by skateboarders and scooter riders and could accommodate BMX bikes, organizers said.
