Opponents of the planned Gorham Connector gathered at Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook on Monday to voice their objections to the proposed highway spur in advance of the Maine Turnpike Authority’s public presentation on the project starting at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Gorham. Abby King, who lives in Gorham, said, “The Gorham Divider would be an epic mistake that will change the character of Gorham forever.”
