PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 29, 2024
Wells voters are poised to decide whether to temporarily ban large-scale residential developments to give the town time to adjust policies to manage growth in the community. The 180-day moratorium, which would extend from April to October, would not impact projects currently under review. Talk of the moratorium began earlier this year when word began to spread about a proposed 158-unit housing development on a 121-acre parcel off of Route 1. That project has since been withdrawn.
