Bangor Approves Senior Housing Amid Delays | Bangor News

Bangor’s planning board just approved 41 new senior apartments in the Broadway Heights project — part of Penquis’ larger plan to build 80 affordable units near Mary Snow School. Though delayed years due to soaring construction costs and labor shortages, the $12 million development aims to break ground next summer, offering one-bedroom homes for seniors earning up to $59,650. While neighbors initially raised concerns, this vital housing effort helps ease Maine’s housing crisis — and even benefits younger families by freeing up larger homes. The first phase, Milford Place, is still under construction and set to finish next April. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
