New bookstores coming to Biddeford and Saco

Biddeford Book Co. will open in Biddeford this summer, and Sherman’s is expected to open a Saco location by Memorial Day.

Habitat for Humanity dedicated a home to Saco father Justin Parizo last week, marking a new beginning for Parizo and his daughter.

Seeds of Hope asked the Biddeford City Council for a larger donation than previous years.

Biddeford will join the list of local communities with farmers markets and makers markets as the city’s first market gets ready to open this summer.

Local filmmakers will showcase documentaries on relevant social issues in Maine at next month’s first Mini Film Fest.

Since the first Mary’s Walk in 1999, the event has raised more than $4 million for cancer.

The complex would be located on Cascade Road and would include a dome building and a turf field.

The ordinance is intended to help Biddeford grow even more as an arts scene.

Local restaurants will offer deals and promotions starting March 16.

The City Council appointed long time employee Brian Phinney as acting city manager.
