The presentation will offer examples of live/work housing developments that could be emulated in Biddeford. It will be followed by a question and answer session with Artspace representatives. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, at City Theater.

On Thursday, April 14, Artspace representatives will join members of Engine – the Biddeford nonprofit sponsoring the event – private developers and city officials to tour the city’s mill district starting at 10:30 a.m. at Riverdam Mill.
