Amazon Warehouse Approved in Gorham | Portland Maine News

Amazon’s new warehouse in Gorham just got the green light from the Planning Board — despite loud local opposition. The board voted unanimously (one member absent) after Amazon made concessions like lowering lighting, adding fencing, and reducing van parking to ease neighborhood concerns. The project will bring over 3,000 daily vehicle trips, prompting road upgrades and sparking debate. While town officials say zoning and regulations are met, a local group called Gorham United is pushing for a moratorium until March, hoping to pause the project until residents have a say. Meanwhile, supporters argue it’ll bring jobs and tax revenue, while critics worry about traffic and community impact. Permits still needed before construction can begin.
