Freeport's Retail Identity Fades As Town Turns To Downtown Housing
The Maine town known for retail is shifting toward downtown housing as that reputation fades, WMTW reported.
Freeport is shifting its focus toward bringing more housing to its downtown, WMTW reported, as the town's longtime reputation as a retail destination fades. The station reported that something new is coming to the downtown area, though its report did not detail specific projects, unit counts or a timeline. WMTW described the change as a shift away from Freeport's identity as a retail hub and toward more housing in the town center. The report did not name the businesses or developers involved, and further details on the plan were not immediately available in WMTW's coverage.
