Developers of former South Portland Shipyard focus on sustainability

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 9, 2021

It’s unclear exactly how the rising ocean anticipated in South Portland’s climate action plan will affect redevelopment of one of the most important and challenging sites on the Maine coast. But the owners of the 30-acre site where workers built Liberty Ships during World War II, who have yet to say what they will put on the site, aren’t waiting to make climate action and sustainable living central to their efforts. PK Realty Management says it has engaged OnePlanet.com to help seek community input on the Yard South project and design plans that are transparent, sustainable and supported by various groups in the city. Online meetings organized by the 2-year-old United Kingdom-based company are scheduled for Dec. 1 and 8.
