PORTLAND, Maine - Developers offered a glimpse today of what a redeveloped Portland Company complex might look like.
Developer Jim Brady unveiled a couple of artist drawings that showed the more historic buildings on the site restored and a new, pedestrian corridor that would lead from Fore Street down steps to the waterfront.
Brady told a gathering this was in keeping with Portland's long-time desires for the site. "Number one among those is reconnecting the public to Portland's waterfront."
Neighbors have claimed other parts of the development would destroy views of the water from Fore Street. They've succeeded in forcing the city to vote this fall on whether to enact new restrictions on construction that would interfere with certain scenic views.
