Prison, economic development office, Moxie Alley also on yesterday's agenda
The federal prison, the one-stop economic development office, and the Moxie Alley/Cote block project were all discussed during yesterday meeting of the Androscoggin Valley Economic Recovery Corp. But the topic that dominated the meeting was the group's desire to spur Berlin and Gorham to look at the way the communities deliver municipal and school services.
