The director of a Maine organization dedicated to promoting vibrant downtowns will give a public presentation with a focus on South Berwick’s town center at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 7. The live meeting will take place in the Town Hall auditorium and will be available virtually on Zoom as well.
Anne Ball, director of the Maine Downtown Center, will talk about the historic, economic and environmental aspects of a healthy downtown. Light refreshments will be offered.
Ball was invited to speak by SmartGrowth South Berwick, a program of the local nonprofit SoBo Central, after town officials began investigating the future of the South Berwick Town Hall. Ball will be introduced by Len Bogh, a local business owner who is active with the program.
The Downtown Center is part of a national network of organizations committed to creating “high-quality places and to building stronger communities through preservation-based economic development.”
SmartGrowth invited Ball with the idea that the event would allow residents to look at various options for town hall with some understanding of what feeds a vibrant downtown. An earlier presentation scheduled for May had to be postponed.
