# Saco City Council Meeting - November 9, 2026

At its November 9, 2026 meeting, the Saco City Council approved a $250,000 Community Development Block Grant application for Project Home’s redevelopment of 12 School Street into seven deed-restricted affordable housing units and community space; no city match is required. The Council also approved required exhibits for the CDBG economic development grant phase two. Fire Chief Hamill presented a proposed ambulance remount program, seeking future Council approval to use ambulance revenue for the program. Remounting is estimated to cost 25–30% less than replacing an ambulance, with a new ambulance costing more than $400,000 and delivery taking about two years; the first remount could be funded in fiscal year 2028. No vote was taken on the program at this meeting.

The Council held a public hearing on TowerCo LLC’s proposed contract zone for a telecommunications tower on Ricker Road and scheduled a final reading for November 16; no decision was made. The City Administrator also announced a request for proposals from engineering, consulting, and urban-design firms for a design, engineering, and construction-ready plan for the downtown gateway corridor, with proposals due December 2. Other actions included approving a restaurant entertainment-permit renewal and scheduling a final reading of sewer ordinance amendments.
