The legal fight over a proposed 332-unit mixed residential development in Saco, the Lincoln Village development, will continue up to Maine’s highest court. In mid-September, the developer filed a notice of appeal after a Maine Superior Court justice ruled for the city of Saco in August. In October 2023, the Saco Planning Board rejected the development on final approval, finding that it did not meet requirements on five criteria: traffic; sewage disposal; aesthetic, cultural and natural values; conformity with local ordinances and plans; and impact on adjoining municipality.
