Construction has begun on the Lambert Woods North apartments at 2274 Washington Ave. Extension in Portland, phase one of a large affordable housing development that will eventually include 162 apartments.

Clover Terraces is targeted to buyers who earn between 80% and 120% of the area median income — too much to qualify for subsidized housing but too little to afford Maine’s skyrocketing home prices — often referred to as the state’s workforce population.

Avesta Housing is developing one of the largest housing projects Lewiston has seen in many years, in the heart of the downtown, across from City Hall and on the site of the former DeWitt House hotel.

Avesta Housing, Kaplan Thompson Architects, Brant and Cochran and Restore Hyper Wellness are among the businesses and nonprofits being honored by the city in this year's awards.
