Officials expect to seek bids for the $1.2 million Westbrook Common project by the end of the month with the goal of finishing the revamp of the downtown park before next winter. The project, first proposed in 2002, aims to turn the little-used common area off Main Street and in between Mechanic and Church streets into a visible and vibrant downtown destination. Plans call for new seating, a stage for live entertainment and spaces for programs like Yoga classes or food truck nights.
