Adding More Joy to Munjoy!!   Acorn is pleased to announce last week’s Portland Planning Board approval for 42 Atlantic Street. The 4-story building designed by Primary Projects in collaboration with Dan Black will include 30 affordable units restricted to 50-60% of Area Median Income, over half of which will be 2- & 3-bedroom apartments. The building is also anticipated to be the first straw-insulated multifamily project in Maine with help from Croft, representing a significantly lower environmental footprint than traditional methods. We look forward to the opportunities this project will bring in reestablishing workforce and family housing near downtown Portland! #acornseedtosite

OK...but, parking? We're already @ capacity for street parking here on the Hill. Not sure where 20-30 more vehicles are going to go TBH. I'm all for affordable development, but without providing onsite parking, this can only make a bad situation worse for area residents. Portland's parking ticket brigade will have a field day! Keep in mind that, for half the year, residents can park on BOTH sides of the street 6 days a week.
