Lake Region Development Council
As a Director of the LRDC, I know many events are happening in the region. The current focus is on Route 302 including the Transportation Coalition from Fryeburg to Windham and many towns in between. The LRDC is working in coordination with the town governments in the region, and ongoing meetings are taking place in many of the towns. A 20-year plan for regional transportation is in place and if you are interested in learning more about this plan please contact the Chamber Office – 892-8265. The town of Naples has been holding monthly meetings since April and now the business and community members are forming ongoing sub-committees to move forward in the areas of Comprehensive Planning, Downtown Revitalization, Causeway Bridge reconstruction, and Naples Village long/short term plans for community growth. Please contact the SLRCC if you would like additional information – 892-8265.
