WE DID IT! THE BEACH PARK IS DEAD!

published by Save Scarborough on Wed, 02/01/2012 - 4:38pm

We all owe each other a pat on the back. Today, in an affirmation of our community-wide comittment to preserve Maine's special places for all and forever, Seth Sprague withdrew the application for the Black Point Beach project. Sprague notified both the Town of Scarborough and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection that they would no longer proceed with the plan due to the increasing costs of the project.

Congratulations and Thank You to everyone who lent their voice to protect Scarborough Beach.

Scarborough Beach Needs Your Help

Scarborough Beach needs your help. Right now, the money and influence of the Sprague Corporation are being used to buy public support. They are winning the public battle to frame this issue to their advantage.
