Bangor residents continue to clash over proposed housing development

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 22, 2023

The Bangor Planning Board held a public comment on a proposed development that would build 30 two-story duplexes with a total of 60 housing units, but the neighbors who surround the potential development remain fierce in their opposition of the housing. While the project would bring new housing to a city that has repeatedly listed increasing its housing stock as a priority, the idea has faced months of opposition from neighbors who fear it would increase traffic, dilute water pressure and erase habitats for wildlife, among other concerns.
