Lewiston is experiencing a run of commercial development from the downtown to its outskirts everything from new or expanded retail and industrial, renovations of historic buildings, attractions, and manufacturing.
During the meeting, a Lewiston Housing official said the organization was surprised when informed the city would not be extending its option agreement to purchase the former school, and believes a senior housing project there is still feasible.
The City Council chose not to renew an option agreement with Lewiston Housing and Avesta Housing due to uncertainty around new affordable housing development.
In Lewiston, Hebert Construction has nearly 150 housing units under construction, and elsewhere in town Museum L-A is raising money for its new space, a conversion of the Camden Yarns mill.
