Biddeford Pool park plan faces planning board rejection
The Biddeford City Council reviewed a planning board report on locating a day use swimming and beaching park at Marie Joseph Academy. The board found the city failed to prove the park would not injure other permitted zone uses or residents health, citing community opposition. The report was sent to the ordinance committee for review while Crosby School, Bar Mills, bids about 300000 for the property owned by the Presentation of Mary, with a asking price previously around 400000.
