L/A Excels Laid Early Joint Planning Framework

The L/A Excels effort of the Cities of Lewiston and Auburn placed any future re-use of Bates Mill #5 and its site at the center of a revitalized downtown Lewiston/Auburn. While at the time of this effort, the joint planning was simply a charette-based initiative, the pending Joint Downtown Master Plan may lay a policy framework to unify the downtowns as one economic unit, rather than two.
