Bridgton voters approve TIF, rezoning

A proposed memory care facility took a major step forward Tuesday when voters agreed to create a Tax Increment Financing District and adopted the Woodlands Senior Living Municipal Development.

A special election was held at the Town Hall, with voting booths placed to create six-foot distancing, as well as only one section of each booth available to be used.

Question 1 regarding Woodlands passed by an 82-47 margin. One ballot was blank.

Question 2 regarding the rezoning of 2 Cottage Street from Downtown Village Neighborhood to Downtown Village Business I district passed by a 90-37 margin. Three ballots were blank.
