The Westbrook Planning Board on Tuesday approved an expansion to the Vertical Harvest project and reviewed plans for two solar arrays to provide municipal power.
Vertical Harvest, a parking garage, farm and housing hybrid project planned at Mechanic and Main streets downtown, got the OK to add 7,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, along with 10 more apartments above.
Developers said they hope the retail space would be rented to a specialty grocery store that would also offer take-out and on-site dining.

Chris Perez didn’t get many opportunities to swing the bat during his seven big-league seasons. As a short reliever who played primarily in the American League, that was to be expected. Somewhat less expected was what happened when he did have a chance to dig into the batters box.
“I had two [plate appearances], and I’m bitter about one of them,” Perez told me recently. “In 2008, my rookie year with St. Louis, we were in Florida at the old stadium, playing the Marlins. I came into the game in the eighth inning with one out, and got a double play with the bases loaded. When I went back to the dugout, Tony La Russa told me, ‘Hey, Chris, you’re still in there. Stay focused, because you’ve got the ninth.’”

WESTBROOK Plans for a 26-condominium neighborhood off New Gorham Road received positive support from the Planning Board Tuesday night.
Greenfield Place is proposed for a site near Mosher Corner on the Westbrook-Gorham line. Six architectural styles of single-family homes will be built on both sides of one road that will end in a cul-de-sac.
Plans call for six different styles of homes, according to Dustin Roma, representing developer Bramblewood, and each will have a porch, back deck space and a backyard. Some will have garages. Roma said he will have more specific designs available for a future meeting.
