Kittery kills proposal to build 900 housing units

CBS 13 • July 15, 2022

A major project promising much-needed housing in the Kittery area has been blocked. This comes despite the ongoing housing crisis. The Town Council voted unanimously to kill Dennett Landing’s proposed 900-unit residential and commercial development project. In addition to that, the council imposed a six-month moratorium on any new development on the 82 acres just west of Interstate 95. The development could have added more than 2,000 new residents to Kittery, a town with only about 10,000 people. A group of petitioners said the 900-unit housing project was just “too much, too fast.”
