Banker Outlines Urban Renewal Plan For Saco Mall
Arnold H. Sturtevant, president of Livermore Falls Trust Co, spoke at a Saco Business Men's meeting about urban renewal to revitalize downtown Saco. The plan centers on a pedestrian mall along Main Street with a large supermarket, parking, and expansion financed by a regional bank group and town land donation. Since the mall opened in September 1967 sales rose 30 to 50 percent, and nearby properties modernized with the same architectural design, funded by a 25 year bank mortgage.
