Saco Council Affirms Utility Building Site Amid Parish Objections
The Saco City Council voted 5 to 2 to keep the parks and recreation department’s 30 by 49 foot maintenance building at its Peppere Park site opposite the Unitarian Universalist Church on School Street. The appeals board had required a 30 foot east shift and landscaping, with the city facing a $3,000 extra cost for permit and labor. Thornton Academy students already built the unit and it will not be ready next month due to summer break. Two council members argued for allowing residents to decide, fearing unnecessary neighborhood disruption and costs beyond the move.
