L.L. Bean is withdrawing its support for a developer’s plan to build hundreds of homes on a 250-acre property it owns in Freeport, Portland Press Herald reports.
According to our info partners at CBS13 News, the plan KV Enterprises submitted to the Freeport Planning Board called for 329 single-family houses, 60 apartment units, 140 homes in 70 duplex buildings and eight commercial lots to be built over a period of up to 20 years.
The land is off Desert and Old County Road.
However, Freeport residents opposed the project saying it would overwhelm municipal services and change the character of the community.
L.L. Bean said it still wants to sell the land at some point in the future.
