The Lewiston Planning and Zoning Commission gave its stamp of approval Wednesday evening to a new downtown urban renewal district designed to spur further growth in the city’s historic core.
The Lewiston Urban Renewal Agency approved an amended plan that formed the district earlier this year, and the commissioners reviewed it for conformity with the city’s comprehensive plan. They voted 5-0 to forward the amended urban renewal plan to the Lewiston City Council for final consideration. Commissioner Joan Hunter wondered about the plan’s consideration of several traffic options to improve circulation downtown, including the return of two-way traffic to Main Street.
