Biddeford Considers Shared Use of Fletcher's Neck Lifeboat Station
The City of Biddeford offers York County Counseling Services a counter proposal for joint use of the Fletcher's Neck Lifeboat Station as a shared facility. City Councilor Michael Knegg says it would place YCCS in the city facility rather than the reverse. The plan, backed by a possible five year lease at one dollar annually with a five year option, would keep the main building for lease to YCCS and require renovations and maintenance by YCCS. The amendment would also reserve rooms for the Biddeford Historial and Archives Society and provide public parking, while the GSA favors a cooperative arrangement in disposition of the abandoned property.
