Biddeford City Manager Truc Dever and her staff are inviting all members of the community to join them for a Town Hall event to learn about the upcoming sewer and recreation bond proposals. The “Town Hall” will take place on Tuesday, October 14 at 6:00 PM and will be held in the J. Richard Martin Community Center Dining Room (189 Alfred St).

City staff and department heads will give an overview of each project, explain how the bonds would be funded, and discuss the community benefits they are intended to support. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to ensure they have clear, accurate information before heading to the polls.

Question 1 asks voters to approve a $20 million General Obligation Bond to complete mandatory separation of the City's storm and sanitary sewer systems.

Question 2 asks voters to approve a $6 million General Obligation Bond to fund improvements to the City’s recreation facilities at Clifford Park, Rotary Park, Shevenell Park, Memorial Park (Mayfield), Doran Field, St. Louis Field, J. Richard Martin Community Center, West Brook Skating Rink, Biddeford Ice Arena, or a future skate park.
