A city committee is aiming to turn the once-busy Aroostook River waterfront into a more vibrant space for residents, business owners and recreation enthusiasts. An area that once was home to factories, residences and the railroad, and then became largely unused, could see new development. If Caribou created new walking trails near the river, they could connect with nearby Water Street, a major gateway to the city’s downtown region. So far, the area’s most anticipated new business is one aiming to showcase the river’s natural beauty. Later this summer, a new campground will open that will have clear views of the river and spots for people to park campers.
