Auburn improvement goals include new investment
Efforts to create a walkable “New Auburn Village” and a riverside greenway in Auburn will move into the next phase Thursday, the Sun Journal reported.
City officials are hosting a planning kickoff meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Auburn/Lewiston at 43 Second St.
The effort continues work started in 2011 with the New Auburn Master Plan that suggested creating a downtown village area and re routing some traffic around it.
Recent work calls for constructing a park and trail area along the Little Androscoggin River and redesigning Second Street to become a pedestrian-friendly street lined with shops, restaurants and new housing. The goals are to increase property values, bring in investment, attract new residents and create an urban, walkable village center.
