The landmark Levine’s building and three others across from it on Main Street in Waterville, all owned by Colby College, will be torn down by this fall, and the former Hains building will see a major renovation.
The changes are part of a major revitalization of downtown Waterville planned by the city, Colby and downtown businesses, according to the Waterville Morning Sentinel.
The newspaper said a technology company that moved to Waterville last year will occupy the top two floors of the former Hains building at 173 Main St. once it is renovated.
“I think it definitely signals a new era for Waterville’s downtown and Waterville in general, where significant improvements are going to be made in the commercial core of the city,” City Manager Mike Roy told the newspaper Wednesday.
The downtown buildings that will be torn down will make room for new buildings and parking. Besides Levine’s at 9 Main St., they are are the former Waterville Hardware building and the building next to it at 14-20 Main St. The former Elks building at 13-15 Appleton St. at the other end of downtown also will be torn down, according to Colby College communications director Kate Carlisle, who told the newspaper work is expected to start next month.
