Zoning change to make Saco Avenue a business district
OLD ORCHARD BEACH town council approved posting a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance converting Saco Avenue from the Saco line to Turn Road into a business district. The plan aims to revise the entire ordinance by fall, with amendments removing amusements and certain nightlife but allowing residential tourist zone uses in the new district. The council also moved to bid a third police car, adopted an advertising contract, and set a community cleanup period and Salvation Army tag days.
