GORHAM — A proposal to upgrade an existing canoe/kayak access site to the Androscoggin Rivers drew concerns about its impact on the surrounding neighborhood at Monday’s select board meeting.

In 2019, Gorham was selected as one of 10 finalists nationwide for Recreation Economy for Rural Communities Program to better connect the downtown with the Androscoggin River and its assets. Town Manager Denise Vallee said the Howland Avenue project is part of a larger plan to build sustainable outdoor recreation in Gorham while managing destination impact. She also stressed that the project being discussed is entirely for non-motorized recreation.
