Caribou and MaineDOT Partner to Study Development Options
The city of Caribou and the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) are collaborating to study access points along Route 1, aiming to support development in the area.
Direct access is currently determined by the state, making development challenging. The study will focus on a state-controlled stretch of Route 1, from Dow Siding Road to Cary Medical Center.
- The City Council has allocated $52,000 to the study.
- The study is part of the DOT Planning Partnership Initiative, with 40% funded by Caribou and 60% funded by the state.
- The total estimated cost of the study is $131,712.
Development is difficult, if not impossible, for many properties due to state-controlled access.
