The newly elected members of the Biddeford City Council will be getting a comprehensive overview of the city’s past, present and future commercial development projects during a special workshop tonight (Jan. 13)
City Planner David Galbraith will walk the council through more than 30 slides that show specifics about ongoing and future development that includes everything from an expanded drive-thru lane at Burger King and a Popeye’s Fried Chicken location to major residential projects aimed for development in the downtown area.
And yes, it looks like Biddeford will get a brand-new Chick-Fil-A restaurant at the location that formerly housed Olive Garden.
For your convenience, we are providing you the opportunity to view or download Galbraith’s presentation.
Beyond the hype and speculation of new restaurants, several large projects and business expansions are also in the pipeline, including an expansion at Fiber Materials, several new affordable housing projects. Even a new parking garage is being envisioned.
The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
This story will be updated.
