Auburn mayor backs area lawmakers’ bill to exempt new density rules for lots around Lake Auburn

SUN JOURNAL • April 27, 2023

Legislation sponsored by Sen. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, would dictate that lots or portions of lots within the watershed of a water source that has a filtration waiver from federal regulations are exempt from the new state housing density law. The exemption, which would be added to a law ratified last year, would limit housing units within the Lake Auburn watershed. Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque applauded the legislation.
