The Kingfield Planning Board in partnership with Western Maine Mountain Housing (new name) will hold a focus group/charrette on Thursday, July 27th at 6 PM in Webster Hall for the purpose of asking Kingfield attendees for help in designing a workforce housing project on the 7-acre lot next to the Dollar General Store. The Architects (Kaplan and Thompson) hired by Western Maine Mountain Housing will work with Kingfield attendees to help determine the mix of housing types (single-family and multi-family), and other site improvements such as playgrounds, buffering, roads, parking, green space, etc. The ideas generated at this meeting will then be used to help the architects create a preliminary design that will be submitted to the Planning Board for their consideration and formal review process. In person attendance is highly recommended as you will be asked to gather around table(s) with a site plan and architect to locate buildings and other site improvements. A zoom link will be provided for those unable to attend in person.
The Planning Board has reached out and invited specific members from the teaching, medical, retail, service and manufacturing professions to be part of this group. Having insight from people that might want to live here will be extremely valuable.
This could be fun!
