In one of Maine’s fastest growing towns, some residents want things to slow down and are pushing back against new developments. On Wednesday, Scarborough held the second of two meetings addressing how the town will manage growth since the passing of a new law that could make it more difficult for the town to rein in development, officials said. LD 1829, signed into law by Gov. Janet Mills in June, aims to address Maine’s affordable housing shortage by peeling back zoning restrictions and limiting how municipalities regulate development.
