Biddeford Eyes Double Funding for Clifford Park Upgrades
Biddeford could receive $60,000 from HUD for two lighted tennis courts and related park improvements at Clifford Park on Pool Street. A federal matching grant from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation could add another $60,000, potentially boosting total available funds to $120,000 for additional facilities. The plan requires a master plan and final city council approval, with a subcommittee set to meet for a walking tour of the 26 acre park.
