Community Feedback Needed: Riverview House Redevelopment

The Town of Bowdoinham invites you to a public meeting on Thursday, January 8, from 6–8pm at the Town Office (or via Zoom) to discuss the future of the Riverview House at Bowdoinham Riverfront Park.

In October, the Town hired Acorn Engineering to assess the Riverview House and to develop conceptual designs for potential future uses. This work builds on the Town’s 2019 Master Site Plan and is guided by a stakeholder process to ensure community voices are central.

At the meeting Acorn Engineering will present:

• Findings from civil and structural engineering assessments of the building
• Recommendations for hazard mitigation strategies (such as elevation, dry-proofing, or reconstruction)
• A supplemental septic system design to expand capacity for park facilities
• Conceptual plans and renderings of possible future uses of the Riverview House

Community input will be gathered to help shape preliminary design plans.

This project is supported by a Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities FEMA grant (75%) and the Town’s CMP TIF (25%). More information can be found here: Riverview House | Town of Bowdoinham
