“This isn’t a small issue for Bangor. A building this size, of this magnitude, adjacent to a section [of Hogan Road] that is bordered with low-density and high-density residential [properties],” Council Chairman Joe Baldacci said. “The city of Bangor, all of us together as a community, have a right to feel safe and a right to be protected.”
“We also have a right not to be used in a political game in Augusta when we have been provided no answers at all. … I think it’s absolutely necessary for this council to do what it can to prevent this from happening,” he said.
