Biddeford Mayor-Elect Seeks Talks On Pool Beach Land
Lucien Dutremble, set to be Biddeford mayor on Jan 1, says he wants to meet with the Pool Beach Association to explore a compromise over a seven acre beachfront parcel seized by eminent domain. The city faces a court fight over the $250,000 price and land use, with the association contesting the taking as unconstitutional and arguing the site unsuitable as a park. Dutremble aims to establish rights of way and parking at no tax cost, awaiting council input on a possible agreement.

Rents at his park run about $20 below Friendly Village in Gorham. He criticized the current council as self-serving while calling the town’s leadership “five strangers” in his view.
